Rhine Ferry Helene (Gernsheim–Eich)

The Gernsheim Rhine ferry is the only way to get between the two Rhineland-Palatinate cities of Mainz (Weisenauer Brücke) and Worms (Nibelungenbrücke Worms) by car across the Rhine, along with the Landskrone Rhine ferry in Nierstein. The Rhine ferry connects the city of Gernsheim on the Hessian right bank of the Rhine with the Rheinhessen municipalities of Eich and Hamm on the left bank of the Rhine.

The ferry is located at Rhine kilometer 461.7 and was set up in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine bridge Gernsheim (Rhine kilometer 461.5), which was destroyed in March 1945, because the bridge was not rebuilt after the war.The ferry service could also be maintained at the lowest level of the Worms level of 2 cm [1], at which level the service is not yet known.On December 21, 2015 the new Rhine ferry of the Gernsheimer Rhine ferry company of the Fretter family was inaugurated under the name "Helene". With this, the "City of Gernsheim" was replaced after 50 years, the ship was handed over to the Nierstein Rhine ferry. [2] The new ship with a length of 62.80 m [3] has 50% more loading capacity and can now accommodate around 28 vehicles. [
