The listed Bergkirche is located on the Goldberg above Osthofen. The church has a tumultuous history and has been expanded and rebuilt repeatedly. From the chapel and a neighboring estate, a castle complex developed towards the end of the first millennium, which was used by the Vogts for Osthofen. In 1241, this fortification was demolished at the request of the Worms citizens after a dispute between the city of Worms, supported by Bishop Landolf of Hoheneck, and the citizens of Osthofen; however, the church remained intact. During the Thirty…

As a supplement to the Hildegard exhibition in the neighboring Museum am Strom, the garden displays numerous plants that Hildegard described in her natural history ("Physica"). In this important collection, the learned Benedictine described almost 300 herbs, shrubs and trees with their (healing) effects on humans. Unfortunately, the work has survived only in late medieval copies, so that today no one knows the "original text" of Hildegard von Bingen. The didactically designed Hilde Garden presents the "Book of Plants" and the "Book of Trees"…
