Since it is a car ferry, the sailing times are fairly regular, extensive and 'unrelated to tourism'. A little sightseeing is included for free.

After the lost First World War, the areas on the left bank of the Rhine came under Allied occupation. Some bridgeheads on the right bank of the Rhine were also occupied, such as the area around Wiesbaden. The occupying power confiscated the Hindenburg Bridge for the traffic of their motor vehicles and banned rail traffic. In order to be able to drive over the bridge with cars and wagons, planks were laid between and next to the rails. It was only after a long time that a few trains were allowed to use the bridge. From October 8, 1920, the Reichsbahn allowed civil traffic to use the bridge, but reserved the right to revoke this at any time. They charged a fee of 4 Reichsmarks for driving over the bridge by car, a fee that was respectable at the time. Despite this, the bridge was frequently used by commercial motor vehicle traffic.
