The Old Transformer Tower in Sulzheim combines history, art, and nature across three levels. For more than five decades, the building served to convert medium voltage to low voltage, thereby securing the electricity supply of the town. With the laying of all cables underground in 2009, the tower lost its original function and was subsequently sold. A private owner took over the structure with the aim of creating a place for encounters. Today, the transformer tower houses public exhibitions as well as events related to art and music.…
With the Pertelturm, I realised a long-standing dream that had already developed in childhood. Back then, I was surprised by a thunderstorm during a potato harvest; a Wingertshäusjen provided shelter for many farmers and even their livestock that day. That left its mark. Today I would like to show with this tower, which is a living recycle from many regions of Rheinhessen, that we in Reinhessen can also get something going. Only by prior request! With two cosy rooms and two viewing platforms, it is intended to be a contact point for…

The church was built in 1712 in place of the destroyed Michaeliskapelle and later remodeled and expanded with neo-Gothic forms. Beneath the nave is a vaulted medieval ossuary. Due to the limited space of the cemetery, the bones that were excavated during reburials were collected and stored there. It was already mentioned in 1496. Later, it was abandoned and fell into oblivion. It was only rediscovered in 1981 during construction work.

The so-called "Mistkaut" between Nierstein and Nackenheim in the middle of the vineyards on the "Roten Hang", is located directly on the "RheinTerrassenWeg" and the "Butttenmännie-Wanderweg". The relic of earlier times from agriculture and viticulture was once used as a temporary storage for manure. Today, wine tastings and festivals are held there. It takes its name from a rock niche (Kaut) in the Rotliegende. This was created by mining rock gravel (Kummer), which was used as fertiliser. Because of its high potash content, the…
