location
It consists of two parts in the districts of Schalding ( ⊙ ) at Danube kilometer 2233.3 on the right and Racklau ( ⊙ ) at km 2228.4. The former oil port in the Grubweg district ( ⊙ ), km 2222.2, has been abandoned and no longer has any handling facilities.
The Passau location has rail and road connections to the neighboring economic regions of Germany and Europe via the main thoroughfare of the European railway network (Frankfurt - Nuremberg - Linz - Vienna) and the federal motorway 3 (Frankfurt).
history
The favorable location of the three-river city was used early on for trade on the Inn and Danube. The first landing stage for ships was the Passauer Lände in today's old town.
Due to the steadily growing freight traffic, it was decided in 1900 to build a winter harbor or - as it was called at the time - a haven of refuge. For this purpose, the island of Racklau was connected to the right bank of the Danube by a 1068 m long dam built diagonally upwards against the current. A 667 m long quay wall, rail and road connections made the former island a full-fledged port.
In the winter of 1902/03, Passau-Racklau, the easternmost German inland port, was opened.
The port experienced an upswing in 1922 with the construction of the Kachlet step. By expanding the section of the Danube between Auerbach and Hofkirchen, the ships were able to travel 120 km further west without major difficulties.
The port authorities in Ludwigshafen am Rhein , Aschaffenburg , Regensburg and Passau were established by the ordinance of August 27, 1925 . Together they formed the “Landeshafenverwaltung” in the State Building Administration, which in turn was subordinate to the State Ministry of the Interior. In 1931 the Passau Port Authority was dissolved and the business tasks assigned to the Regensburg Port Authority .
The Kachlet barrage with its guaranteed constant water level formed the basis for the RoRo system in Schalding r in the 1980s . d. Danube. In 1983, the construction of the RoRo system began in Schalding, about five kilometers northwest of Racklau. The start of RoRo traffic meant an enormous upswing in goods handling for Passau. Today, several times a week, trailer transports to the Bulgarian town of Vidin take place via RoRo catamaran.
description
The port is connected to 13 European countries by inland waterway. In the port Schalding Also located clearance office of the Customs Office Passau. With a total annual cargo handling of almost 500,000 tons, the port of Passau today plays an important economic role in the triangle. In addition to agricultural products, metals, granite or vehicles, bulky goods such as blades for wind turbines are also handled, which are then transported by ship to Hungary, Bulgaria or Romania.
In 2016, the Port of Passau, with 292,386 t of shipping goods traffic, accounted for 4.08% of shipping goods traffic in Bavaria, which in 2016 totaled 7,174,477 t.
Eleven companies have set up shop on an area of 25 hectares, providing jobs for 121 people.
Cranes up to max. 120 tons of payload, 650 meters of quay length and 3.0 kilometers of the port's own rail network are part of the port's infrastructure. Likewise, a roll-on-roll-off system (RoRo) , with which road goods of all kinds can be transshipped from ship to land (or vice versa) without handling equipment.
The surveys and surveys of the transporting and loading industry in the Passau area had shown that there is sufficient potential in this area for a high volume of shipping-related traffic. In the port of Passau-Racklau, however, a future-proof, trimodal port use was not possible due to the restricted freedom from flooding and the lack of a rail connection in connection with the city center. The expansion of the Passau-Schalding location was therefore decided and, depending on requirements, a start was made in sections to develop the location into an efficient trimodal port with the necessary transhipment and storage facilities.
