The last section of the bank, the Victor Hugo bank, stretches from the swing bridge just behind the Malakoff Passage to the railway bridge. From the Stresemann bank, walkers must first cross the small pedestrian bridge past the cultural center to reach the pier. This is where the Victor Hugo bank begins, often simply referred to as Mainz's winter harbor.

The beer garden at the top of the pier is a popular meeting place for Mainz residents.

"Victor Hugo made two trips along the Rhine in his life, in 1839 and 1840. He recorded his impressions in his prose text Le rhin. In it, he not only describes the place of legends, fairy tales and ruins that the Rhine had been for him since childhood, but also deals with its political significance as a border river between France and Germany. And over 100 drawings of the Rhine were created both on site and from memory. Hugo was also a gifted draftsman. In recent times, he has been recognized as an artist of early modernism with his fantastic, magical sheets (...) This volume presents excerpts from the text in a new translation together with Hugo's most beautiful Rhine drawings and contemporary photographs."
