The old customs port of Mainz is being converted into a beautiful residential area.
There is always something new to discover here.

You can take a break here. A little further up the Rhine, you can have a coffee.

As early as the turn of the century, the Romans established a port for their navy in Mainz's old town and built a trading port. Under Archbishop Willigis, Mainz developed into a world trading center around the turn of the first millennium. In accordance with the market and staple rights granted in 1317, all goods that passed through Mainz by water had to be offered for sale in the city for three days. Only what was not sold could be transported further. Between 1860 and 1885, the river flow of the Rhine was regulated as part of the expansion into a European waterway. This was accompanied by the expansion of the banks in Mainz. New port facilities were built. Between 1880 and 1887, the area now known as the customs port and numerous buildings were built in the new town based on designs by the city architect Eduard Kreyßig. In the Second World War, around 85 percent of Mainz's customs port was destroyed. After 1945, however, the port complex with its warehouses, cranes and quays quickly came back to life. In 2003, the Mainz city council decided to relocate the container terminal to the Ingelheimer Aue industrial area, thus paving the way for the planning of the new Zollhafen Mainz urban district.
