Almost 400 years ago, the proud monastery of Rupertsberg, the place of work of Hildegard of Bingen, was burned down during the Thirty Years' War and turned into a ruin. In 1803, the site then transitioned into private ownership. The monastery arcades were bricked up.
In the Villa Rupertsberg, starting from the original monastery arcades of the Hildegard Church, the vanished Hildegard monastery has been brought back to life and can be explored with all senses using digital technology: An 'elevator to the past', large-format visualizations, and graphic presentations complement the monument substance and convey the highly significant memorial site, where all of Hildegard's works were created, in a completely new way.
