The region is characterized economically by wine growing, all the more so as in Bingen, three wine growing areas (Rheinhessen, Mittelrhein and Nahe) meet. The town is also the wine growing Bereich�s (Bereich Bingen) namesake in German wine law.
Other industries, which once did business in Bingen when there was a harbour, have left the town over the years. The service industries found here today are found mainly in the industrial park (Autobahn interchange Bingen-Ost / Kempten / Industriegebiet) and in the Scharlachberg commercial park.
