With the Hildegard jubilee in 1998, the Historical Museum on the River - Hildegard von Bingen, the former electricity generating station on the bank of the Rhine River, opened its doors. There is a large department dedicated to Hildegard, the universal scholar and theologist. The museum offers something very special: a complete set of surgical instruments from the Roman days, discovered during renovation work in Bingen. A further department focuses on the Rhine Romantic epoch. In a unique way, the 200-year epoch is illustrated using, among…
The vaulted cellar in the first basement of the Ingelheim Winzerkeller has established itself as a venue for cabaret. It has become a stage for many well-known authors who read from their works. Of course, there is also an interesting music programme.
The access to the fountain path is hidden at the far end of this square. If you follow the narrow path to the left, the fountain path leads close to the narrow buildings along the Zuckerberg area. The origin of the name "Brunnenpfad" is unknown. Presumably it was a path the residents used to reach wells outside the fortified defensive walls. The so-called health fountain is also located at this circular route station. A staircase leads to the spring water, which gushes 4 meters below the surface, which used to be routed through a brick…
The individual graduation towers are between 70 and 350 metres long and 9 metres high, embedded in a rocky valley, where thermal healing water trickles down from the 500-metre-deep spring and a fresh sea breeze blows with an evaporation area of 16,000 square metres in the Salinental valley. From 1732 - 1998 salt for baths and foods was produced with the help of these salt waterfalls.
Around 1150 Hildegard of Bingen left the women’s cloister at the Disibodenberg monastery with 20 companions after her first work "Liber Scivias" had gained great notoriety. She founded her first own monastery on the Rupertsberg near Bingen. Here, the abbess, who now abandoned her secluded cloister life in favor of a public role, connected to the important trade routes of the Rhine. Most likely between 1155/58 and 1165, the new monastery complex was created with the three-nave, representative church at its center. During her nearly 30…
Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg
The Rheingrafenstein is a 136 m high porphyry rock formation on the Nahe opposite Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Geologically, it belongs to the Kreuznach Massif.

Experience "Ingelheim in Roman times" via augmented reality The Museum bei der Kaiserpfalz has developed a new mobile app that allows users to immerse themselves in the world of antiquity. The digital application focuses on three life-size Roman statues that were originally part of a monumental, colourfully painted tomb. This funerary monument is embedded as a digital reconstruction in the Roman settlement landscape of the 1st century AD and can be recreated astonishingly realistically with a 360° panorama as augmented reality. …
In the midst of the Rheinhessen orchards, between Bingen, Ingelheim, and Gau-Algesheim, the "rheinwelle" glimmers and sparkles in the sun. The shape of the building is unusual. It is modeled after the course of the Rhine and "flows" through the adjacent orchards. The bathing facilities range from a 25-meter sports swimming pool with a one-meter and three-meter diving board, to a learning pool for beginners, and an adventure pool with a current channel, wave ball, giant slide, climbing fish, and climbing wall. The little bathers can enjoy…
