Hi Everyone
Maybe this is relevant for anyone travelling through Bacharach and hoping to store bags at the tourist office on a Sunday.:
RS Germany book says the tourist office stores luggage and is open until 2 on Sundays- I emailed them to confirm as I will be there on Sept 21, but they said they are closed Sunday.
Here is their response:
“Unfortunately, our office is closed on Sundays. Therefore, we cannot offer luggage storage at the Tourist Information Center.”
FYI the 20th is also a regional holiday.
TI offices in small towns often change their hours from season to season and year to year. Their lunch hours sometimes mean locked doors if staffing is low. Their offices move from building to building. The services they provide are changeable too. Guidebooks should not carry this kind of information or be relied upon for it if they do. You were wise to check in advance.
Bacharach's official TI page: closed Sundays and Holidays. Saturday 10-2 only... bags would have a LONG siesta in Bacharach if someone were to miss that 2 pm deadline! Info and contact page:

Koblenz, Mainz and Wiesbaden are currently the only stations in the Middle Rhine area with lockers AFAIK.
