The north-westernmost tower on the Fleckenmauer in Flörsheim-Dalsheim is designed as a flanking tower with a round ground plan and equipped with keyhole embrasures. This type of embrasure, whose appearance is reminiscent of a keyhole, and the construction of the tower, which protrudes from the wall on the field side, made it possible to observe the neighbouring sections of the wall well. The tower is also a time-travel location on the audiovisual tour "Time Travel Fleckenmauer" with additional content on yourube…
A mysterious atmosphere envelops the nighttime Mainz of Roman times. Soldiers in full armor gather around the fire of a large pyre, laying down weapons and spoils, while wails of mourning echo through the darkness and the flickering fire casts ghostly shadows on the nearby memorial. This could have looked like the annual death cult for General Drusus. Remains of the Drusus stone, regarded as an important Roman monument, can still be seen today on the grounds of the citadel. Nero Claudius Drusus, known simply as Drusus, was a stepson of…
Bad Münster am Stein - Ebernbu
Not far from the mighty backdrop of the Rotenfels in Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, the sculptors Kubach-Wilmsen built their open-air studio in 1968.

A natural landscape in the Nahe valley opens up to the visitor and observer with stone sculptures as stone piece works of the earth. Nearly 30 sculptures have already found their place in this landscape. The…
Here you see a section of an early medieval long-distance water pipeline. It was found in 2004 in close proximity. Scientifically, it has been dated to the construction period of the Imperial Palace, namely the late 8th century AD. The long-distance water pipeline supplied high-quality drinking water from the spring area "Karlsquelle" near Heidesheim through the Wackernheimer Valley to Nieder-Ingelheim, into the palace of Charlemagne. This was achieved through a 6.8 km long canal, which mostly ran underground. The structure, built from…
Along almost the whole length, the defensive wall, which runs parallel to Burgunderstraße, is still preserved, though on different heights. It follows the course of the defence moat, which was filled in last century, and runs in a straight line towards the west to the Stiegelgässer Tor. At about halfway this tower with a pointed roof, attached to a house, could be preserved.

The 38-meter-high church tower of the Protestant church stands prominently visible and was inaugurated in 1910 after 17 months of construction. The organ, the ceiling painting, and the colorful windows radiate a special beauty. The interior of the church is designed according to the so-called "Wiesbaden Program." Accordingly, the altar, organ, and pulpit form a unity as they lie on a visual axis.
The small Romanesque building is dedicated to the patron saint of winegrowers and was perhaps built before 1000.
