About us

Our house, built in 1869, is located directly on the Kulturufer (Hindenburgpark) on the edge of Bingen city center and has four modern furnished apartments between 60 and 120 square meters.

We bought it in 2019 and extensively renovated and modernized it immediately afterwards, so that today only the staircase and the exposed wooden beams are reminiscent of the old property. We replaced the old windows with high-quality soundproof windows, insulated the façade and installed individually adjustable air conditioning systems in the living rooms. We have given each apartment its very own character and all four are fully equipped so that you will want for nothing during your stay.

If you are still missing something, please contact us and we will try to find a solution.
