The Ingelheimer Aue is a former Rhine island , located on the left from river kilometer 500.00 to 503.5 towards the city of Mainz . It forms the northern tip of the Mainz-Neustadt district and is used commercially.

development

Beginning of the 20th century

Originally the Ingelheimer Aue was an island. The construction of the Mainz customs and inland port from 1880 onwards created a dam that connected the island to the land and thus formed the raft port north of the customs port (see illustration). This was inaugurated on June 6, 1887.

An industrial area was built on the former island at the end of the 19th century. Initially with a gas and electricity company from 1899 and a few factories, such as the Wilhelm Hannss metal goods factory. In the following years several large works were built, such as B. Blendax (1931), Werner & Mertz (1908), Römheld & Moelle (1906). From 1906 to 1997 a tram ran on the Ingelheimer Aue (final stop: Ingelheimer Aue). Line 59 has had its terminus at the customs port since October 2017.

The bridge piers of the Kaiserbrücke , which is part of the railway ring around Mainz, the Mainz bypass line, stand on the piled up landfall . The bridge was inaugurated in 1904 by Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Hessian Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig in the presence of Reich Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow .

time of the nationalsocialism

On the premises of the Dr. Ing. Eugen Pfleiderer a camp for forced laborers was set up in 1944 . Up to 292 people were interned there; it was evacuated in March 1945.

There was also a residential ship that anchored in the raft harbor and served as accommodation for "Eastern workers" for the Erdal company and other smaller companies in the industrial area there.

post war period

Between 1956 and 1974, the largest gas container in Europe shaped the face of the Rhine. The "gasometer" was 123 m high, had a floor space of 3550 m² and a capacity of 350,000 m³.

Mainz-Wiesbaden power plants

In recent years there have been several major construction projects on Ingelheimer Aue, which have led to significant changes in the infrastructure. Due to the redesign of the neighboring customs port into a residential area, the container port there had to be relocated to the Ingelheimer Aue. For this purpose, an area of ​​around 30 hectares was converted into a modern container port. This started operations in 2011.

Due to the location of the container port, Gaßnerallee, which until then was the access road to the northern part of the peninsula, had to be closed, so a 170 meter long harbor bridge with three lanes was built over the industrial port basin. It was inaugurated on April 24, 2009.

Stadtwerke Mainz and its subsidiary Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden AG (KMW) operate a gas power plant and a waste incineration plant on a large area of ​​the Ingelheimer Aue . A coal-fired power plant with three 100 MW units from 1958, 1963 and 1966 was shut down in 2000.

The current plant consists of two combined cycle power plants , an older, inactive unit from 1977 with around 350 MW and a new power plant (2001) with around 400 MW. At the end of 2018, another block with a total output of 100 MW for the generation of district heating was completed. This supplements and expands the previous district heating production of over 200 MW.

The waste incineration plant linked to the gas power plant was inaugurated on November 12, 2003. In 2014, over 350,000 tons of garbage were burned there.

The plans for a hard coal cogeneration plant with an electrical output of 800 MW and up to 300 MW district heating were abandoned due to massive protests in 2012. ( KMW section of the formerly planned coal-fired power plant )

In addition to the power plants, the WEPA Mainz GmbH paper mill joins them. This employs 200 people on Ingelheimer Aue and produces toilet paper there.

The Polycasa company has a factory there with 125 employees and is a manufacturer of extruded plastic sheets . In the company history of the Mainz location, many materials have been used, starting with shellac , phenolic resins and phenolic molding compounds through to acrylate molding compounds .

In addition, some water sports clubs have their buildings on the Ingelheimer Aue, z. B. the water sports department of the Mainz Police Sports Club .
