  • With its trimodal—that is, three-way—transport network, the Rhine Port serves as Karlsruhe’s gateway to the world for freight traffic. Cargo is transported, stored, and processed by ship, rail, or truck. And it has been doing so for exactly 125 years, since the first ship entered the port in 1901.
