Through the door behind the altar of the imposing transverse hall from 1775, you enter the medieval tower, the chancel of the previous building. From there you can enter the pulpit via a modern staircase through the former east window. On the walls and especially in the deep reveals of the three windows of the tower, high-quality wall paintings from around 1420 have been preserved. Among them are scenes of the Passion and Resurrection: Christ on the Mount of Olives, Ignoring Christ and Noli metangere. The eastern side shows the Last Judgment…
The two vineyard swings offer the wonderful opportunity to gently sway back and forth, let your feet dangle, and feel very close to the Rheinhessen sky. The two swings are a joint project of the city with a Nieder-Olm wine-growing operation.
Until 1889, there was the so-called "Weed" here. It was an artificially created pond where horses and other draft animals were washed and watered after work. Additionally, the Weed also served as a fire-fighting water pond. The water basin was fed by a spring that originates in the area "Im Schneckenbangert." Today, it supplies the Weed fountain, whose overflow is directed into Neustraße. In the summer months, water runs there above ground up to the Catholic church. In 1934, the milk house was built on the site of the filled-in basin.…
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…
For centuries there has been a large country estate just outside the medieval town wall of Bad Kreuznach - today it is a romantic tree garden, which was created in the 19th century as a landscape park. The pond in the park dates back to the 18th century, when a moated castle stood here. Over the years, however, the park was repeatedly redesigned by its changing owners. Today, the Schlosspark Museum is located in the middle of the park, which together with the pond forms an aesthetic unit that in itself is worth visiting.
Beguines were women in the Middle Ages who, under the protection of the Christian community, strove to lead an intense life following Christ. Through their work in nursing and educational institutions and their knowledge of herbal medicine, they had a significant influence on social life at the time. Without entering a convent or taking a permanent vow, they were largely independent of the local Franciscan convent. Even though the three well-known beguine houses in Oppenheim are no longer preserved, we still invite you to travel back in time…
History and Construction In the mid-4th century, a reconstruction of the existing city wall, which dated back to the 3rd century, took place. This was significantly shortened, leaving the Roman theater and the abandoned legion camp, along with other important areas of the city, outside its bounds. Old demolition material (spolia) from the camp buildings was reused for the reconstruction. Furthermore, the road that was paved with sandstone and led to the former porta praetoria continued to be used. To ensure the use of this important road…
