Lotsenmuseum
Hafenstraße 2, 55411 Bingen am Rhein
Built in 1948, this was the site of the Bingen pilot station until the expansion of the Middle Rhine took place in 1974. The pilot house served as an order station and a place to stay for the Bingen pilot association. It was continuously occupied during the day. Orders from shipping companies, mail, and telegrams were delivered to passing ships by boat before the time of modern communication.
Today, the Bingen Schifferverein 1895 e.V. operates the house as a pilot museum.
There is no admission fee, and the museum is barrier-free!!
Guided tours and visits by arrangement at info@lotsenmuseum.de
