The Main ferry in Seligenstadt has been used by cars, pedestrians and cyclists for many years.

Today's Main ferry (formerly called "Newe") is a free-floating car ferry and crosses the Main at Main kilometer 69.60. It has been in operation since 1971. Before it, there were already two or three (the exact number can no longer be determined) ferries that connected the Hessian town of Seligenstadt with the Bavarian side of the Main - the communities of Kahl and Karlstein am Main. The ferry is operated by the Seligenstadt municipal utilities and makes large losses every year, partly because of the high administration costs. For this reason, there have been frequent discussions about whether a bridge should be built over the Main instead of the ferry (as happened in Mainflingen) or whether the car ferry should be replaced by a pedestrian/cyclist ferry. There are also plans to have the ferry operated by a private company in order to save costs. It is one of twelve ferries that still cross the Main today.
