Expanded and secure bicycle storage - 80 new locations for bikes in cycle garages at Essen main train station
On September 18, 2025, Essen Central Station will see the addition of four new bike garages, marking a significant step towards promoting environmentally friendly transportation options. The garages, located in the station's parking lot on Weigelstraße, will offer a safe and dry space for cyclists to park their bicycles near the train station.
These double-decker bike garages, each offering 20 parking spaces, will make a total of 80 spaces available for bicycles. Regular bicycles can be parked on the upper level, while e-bikes are accommodated on the lower level.
Bookings for these bike garages can be made through the Ruhrbahn app or the VRR app, allowing for both daily and long-term parking. The "DeinRadschloss" system will secure the garages, ensuring the safety of your bike.
The organization responsible for setting up these bike garages at Essen main station is not specified in the available information, and no details about additional locations in Essen planned for such bike garages are provided. However, after the central station, the four bike garages will be used at other locations in Essen.
The city portal aims to provide this service as part of its mission to encourage the use of bikes and trains. For more information, you can visit the city portal's website, accessible via the provided URL.
It's worth noting that bicycles up to 18 kilograms are allowed on the upper level, while e-bikes are usually too heavy for this area. Prices for daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly parking are 1 Euro, 5 Euro, 10 Euro, and 70 Euro, respectively.
For any inquiries or further information, you can contact the Press and Communications Office for the city portal at the provided telephone number and email address.
As we move towards a more sustainable future, these bike garages at Essen Central Station will undoubtedly contribute to making cycling a more convenient and attractive option for commuters.
