With the 'Elevator to the Past', the former Hildegard Monastery becomes tangible
Almost 400 years ago, the proud Monastery of Rupertsberg, the place where Hildegard of Bingen worked, was burned down in the Thirty Years' War and reduced to ruins. In 1803, the grounds were then transferred into private ownership. The monastery arcades were walled up.
In the Villa Rupertsberg, starting from the original monastery arcades of the Hildegard Church, the disappeared Hildegard Monastery has been revived and can be discovered with all senses through digital technology: An 'Elevator to the Past', large-format visualizations, and graphic presentations complement the substance of the monument and present this immensely significant memorial site, where all of Hildegard's works were created, in an entirely new way.
