On a terrain between Stiegelgasse and Jungfernpfad which is now settled again, there was the synagogue, built in 1841 as “a nice copy of oriental style” .The entrance was in Stielgelgasse. Crossing a small garden, the gate was reached. A side door led to the female emporium, another to the emplacement of the choir, where the organ was also situated. The main hall had 10-12 rows with 5 to 6 seats each on both sides. The Torah case was at the end of the hall on an elevated place. There both reading and the sermon took place. The…
The village trench in Wörrstadt is a valuable heritage from the Middle Ages. First documented in the 13th century as “Zingele,” it is a worthy green lung in today’s urban area with its rich tree population. As a vegetated defensive structure, the trench enclosed the entire village area until the early 19th century. Until the 1980s, the trench was mostly planted with centuries-old elm trees, also called Effen. They all fell victim to the elm bark beetle and were replaced by other tree species. Since the spring of 2015,…
A nostalgic cabaret theater for magic and music in the middle of the old town center of Ober-Ingelheim.
The name of this alley derives from a little wooden footbridge to the east of the gate, over which the knowing ones could enter the village late at night when the main gate was closed. The Stiegelgässer Tor, first mentioned 1483, was the southern exit towards Groß-Winternheim, primarily to the numerous mills along the Selz. Still preserved are the round towers guarding the former gate. The western one has a merlon wreath and external stairs. In the eastern tower a deep cellar is located.
Note: The Mainz City Hall is currently undergoing renovation. In November 2019, the resident offices moved out. Colloquially, it is jokingly referred to as the "Fox Den" (in reference to the serving Mayor Jockel Fuchs at the time of its inception) or "Civil Servant Prison": The Mainz City Hall is undoubtedly a characteristic building with its own unique architectural language. Previously, Mainz had been without a city hall for five centuries – until the Mainz City Council commissioned the renowned Danish firm Jacobsen and Weitling to…

The quietly splashing Neuborn spring, which is located in the forest recreation area Neuborn, offers cool refreshment and feeds the nearby Neuborn spa.
The neighbouring earlier Hessen Amtsgericht is a neo baroque complex, whose 3 wings encase a courtyard open to the south. This palace-like estate was built between 1907 and 1909, according to plans of the Hessisches Hochbauamt Darmstadt. The facade of the main building is dominated by a triangular gable. An open stair leds to an admirably rounded portal guarded by pillars above which a coat of arms with the inscription “Hessisches Amtsgericht” is preserved. At the end of the 20th century these premises were sold by the state…
