Bingen Central Station, Central station and junction point in Bingen am Rhein, Germany.
Bingen Central Station is a railway junction in the Rhine valley with four tracks spanning three platforms. It connects train lines heading toward Koblenz, Mainz, and the Rheinhessen wine region.
The station opened on July 15, 1858 as part of the first section of the Nahe Valley Railway. Construction workers discovered a Roman burial ground with numerous tombstones dating back to the first century.
The station sits in a region shaped by centuries of river trade and transportation networks. Walking through it, you notice how it connects to the Rhine valley's long history of moving goods and people.
Platform 44 serves the Rheinhessen Railway service to Worms with accessible facilities for passengers with limited mobility. Allow extra time for connections, as the station can get crowded during peak travel hours.
From 1862 to 1900, the station ran a ferry service for freight wagons across the Rhine between Bingerbrück and Rüdesheim. This unusual railway-ferry operation was a creative solution for moving cargo around obstacles before modern bridges were built.
