The Port of Mannheim

This, the largest inland port in Germany covering an area of 1,131 ha, extends along the Rhine and the mouth of the Neckar. With its 420 commercial units, it represents an important economic site for the Rhine-Neckar region as a whole and serves as an attractive distribution and logistics centre underpinned by its trimodal structure. The port connects Mannheim to international sea and inland ports in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Switzerland and to the rest of the world via sea ports.

 Rail connections

For centuries, the port of Mannheim has been one of the oldest and best-developed railway intersections in Germany. The railway is connected to the Rhine and the Neckar. The RoRo system connects the railway and roads to the inland waterways. Trains can be put together and carriages weighed and parked up in group E in the Rheinau port. The infrastructure consists of 96 km of track and 272 junction plates in track category D4 (axle load = maximum 22.5 t; meter load = maximum 8 t /m). The ports are connected directly with the central station in Mannheim and Rangierbahnhof Mannheim.

The transport identification and calculation system (TrAbSy) records all carriages and automatically establishes a statement of account.

Access by road

The port can be accessed by road via the federal motorways A 6 (E 50), A 61 (E 31), A 67 (E 451), A 650, A 656 and A 659 and the federal roads B 9, B 36, B 37, B 38, B 38a and B 44.
