Waggonfabrik Gebrüder Gastell, Railway vehicle factory in Mainz-Mombach, Germany
The industrial complex manufactured railway carriages and tramway vehicles, featuring multiple production halls along the Rhine riverfront near Mainz.
Joseph Gastell established the factory in 1820 as a horse-drawn carriage workshop before transforming it into a railway vehicle manufacturing facility.
The architectural structures designed by Franz Philipp Gill between 1896 and 1910 represent industrial construction methods of the German Empire period.
The adjacent Waggonfabrik railway station on the Alzey-Mainz line serves 3,500 passengers daily without permanent staff or buildings.
The factory site now houses various organizations after TRIWO purchased the premises following the 1994 bankruptcy of MIP Mainz Industries Panzerwerke.
