The winter port was built in 1865, and the name says everything about its original function: the port was intended to provide protection for skippers and their ships in winter, when the Rhine was drifting with drift ice or was even completely frozen. Incidentally, the winter harbor was a bad design, because due to the location and location of the entrance diagonally opposite the confluence of the Main, the winter harbor tends to silt up. After the customs port was opened in 1884, most ships spent the winter there.
