- bayernhafen Aschaffenburg
bayernhafen Aschaffenburg efficiently links the transport routes of inland waterway, rail and road, and is the key logistics hub for the Bavarian Rhine-Main region. It makes a significant contribution to the supply of goods to the region’s inhabitants and businesses and provides regional companies with seamless access to international transport networks.
Aschaffenburg is a successful example of bayernhafen’s “land recycling instead of land consumption” strategy: where required, land is prepared for new forms of use through intelligent land management. For decades, the port was home to an electricity power station and switching facilities. After the power station was decommissioned and the switching station was considerably reduced in size, at the beginning of the new century, bayernhafen succeeded in converting the site into a commercial area offering a diverse range of uses.
Our high-performance infrastructure provides you with non-discriminatory and cost-effective access to the three equal modes of transport rail, road and inland waterway.
Furthermore, we efficiently manage the basic infrastructure such as the electricity network, water supply and sewerage system.
In order to provide the companies operating from our port with the best possible connections and accessibility, we permanently invest in the development of our infrastructure.
Should you experience any disruption or impediments when using our infrastructure, we can be reached around the clock via our location-wide hotline.

History
For many centuries, man used the Main rover to transport timber, salt and many other types of goods.
The State Treaty of 1906 between the states of Bavaria, Prussia, Baden and Hessen laid down in law the development of the river Main for large-scale shipping. The construction and extension of the Port of Aschaffenburg began in 1914 and ended in 1921 with the opening of the port. The most important goods transported in the first few years were coal and coke for the region and for the steam locomotives of the Bavarian Reich Railway.
As the importance of road transport grew ever greater, the port developed into a crucial interface between road, rail and inland waterway.
The 90s was the decade of infrastructure modernisation. In this time, more than DM 25 million alone were invested in shoreside facilities and new cranes. Five modern cranes enable the handling of up to 50 tonnes of cargo. The container terminal has been in operation since 1999. In addition, we have five loading points for liquid cargo.
The draft Federal Transport Route Plan envisages the deepening of the shipping channel in the river Main to over 3.30 metres. Development of the transport infrastructure to optimise rail traffic and combined transport services is already in progress.
