Travel to Bingen am Rhein


JuteVilla
The main railway station, Bingen (Rhein) Hauptbahnhof lies in the outlying centre of Bingerbr�ck. It is served as a regional station by InterCity trains as well as one ICE line.

Bingen (Rhein) Stadt station lies 2 km farther east, right across from the historical harbour crane. This station is only important for local transport. Furthermore, there is also a stop in Bingen-Gaulsheim. The reason that two railway stations arose in Bingen is historical. The main railway station was originally a Prussian border station built by the Rhenish Railway Company on its West Rhine Railway, while the station in town belonged to the Hessian Ludwig Railway.

The stops at Drususbr�cke on the Bingen Hbf-Bad Kreuznach line and Bingen-Kempten and B�desheim-Dromersheim on the Bingen/Rhein Stadt�Alzey line are no longer served.

Bingen lies right near Autobahnen A 60 and A 61, which are linked to the town by Bundesstra�e 9.

Only private transport is still of importance today. The cargo harbour has been abandoned. The former winter harbour is now a marina.

There are landing stages of the tourist lines K�ln-D�sseldorfer, Bingen-R�desheimer Fahrgastschifffahrt and R�sslerlinie. A passenger ferry and a car ferry link Bingen with R�desheim.

Until the late 1970s, Bingen was a piloting station
