contents Electron-ion collision spectroscopy at heavy-ion storage rings aims at precision measurements of resonance features that occur in the cross sections of electron collision processes such as electron-impact ionization of ions or electron-ion recombination. As part of the international FAIR project, the low-energy ion storage ring CRYRING@ESR has been coupled with the heavy-ion accelerators operated by the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy-Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. This has created a new opportunity for stringent tests of strong field quantum electrodynamics by electron-ion collision spectroscopy of heavy few-electron ions. The present contribution provides details of the electron-ion collision spectroscopy setup at CRYRING@ESR and of the associated data-analysis procedures along with first results for nonresonant and resonant recombination of berylliumlike lead ions. For nonresonant recombination a recombination rate enhancement factor of 3.5 is found at zero electron-ion collision energy. For resonant recombination there is excellent agreement with recent theoretical results when these are shifted by 340~meV in energy.
