FRS Rheinfähren Ingelheim - Oestrich-Winkel - Welcome to the family

The FRS Rheinfähre Ingelheim - Oestrich-Winkel ferry has been reliably transporting people, bicycles and vehicles between Ingelheim and Oestrich-Winkel for over 50 years. But the history of the Maul ferryman family goes back much further - to the time of the traditional “Ferger” in Rüdesheim am Rhein.


The roots of the Maul family lie in picturesque Rüdesheim, where the name appears early on in the boatmen's registers. As members of the Ferger Guild, the Mauls have been an integral part of the local ferry business for generations - a tradition that is carried on with great passion by Fährhaus Maul. Then as now, the name Maul stands for reliability, proximity to the region and genuine Rhine romance.


The ferry has been part of the FRS family since 2025 and is delighted to continue the ferry trade and the tradition of ferry operation at this point on the Rhine.
