The Winzerkeller is not just a piece of Ingelheim's wine-growing history. It still characterises the face of the town today and bears witness to a great cooperative achievement. The multimedia wine experience exhibition brings this history back to life. At the centre of the permanent multimedia wine experience exhibition on the second basement floor, everything revolves around the history of the Winzerkeller and the people who laid the foundation stone for this extraordinary building almost 120 years ago. Step into the experience…
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.…
The bridge chapel in the land pier of the Drusus Bridge is probably the oldest preserved bridge chapel in Germany and the only underground one. The bridge chapel in the Drusus Bridge, 2021. Unfortunately, we do not have a current photo of the interior of the chapel in the city archive, hence this one from Wikipedia.

Also worth seeing is the Wamboldscher Hof, a stately home in the middle of the village, built around 1770 in the Baroque style. The wide gateway with pilasters and the mansard roof are particularly striking. After the French Revolution, this stately building served as a schoolhouse until 1963 and is now the parsonage of the Protestant parish of Partenheim. Visits: By prior arrangement
This vantage point offers a beautiful panoramic view that extends far over the hilly landscape of Rhine-Hesse. There is also a table of wine here. These tables are real Rhine-Hessian resting places. With their length of five metres, they also offer larger groups the ideal opportunity to take a break together. The table of the wine at the Hiwweltour Heideblick is located in the vineyard "Golden Horn" in the district of Siefersheim. Dominant are loess soils. One finds here and there also volcanic stone.
The foundation stone for the present church was laid on October 31, 1892. It was built in neo-Gothic style using quarry stone, and the bell tower houses three steel bells tuned to E, A, and G. The church was consecrated on December 19, 1894, and underwent extensive renovations in 1932 and 2006.

Here at the northern end of Rinderbachstraße stood a covered double gate structure in the Middle Ages. It controlled the access to and from Nieder-Ingelheim and led directly to the so-called small market near St. Remigius. The remains of the old gate were rebuilt for residential purposes in the early 19th century in the style of a gatehouse; however, this change had to be demolished due to its dilapidated condition. Only one side pillar remained, which is connected to the outer walls of the former apothecary's residence. About halfway…
Tombstones attest that there was already a Christian community in Bingen in the 5th or 6th century. Probably in the Frankish period, the parish church was consecrated to Saint Martin. Since 1006, St. Martin is also documented as a collegiate church, where twelve clergymen served under the leadership of a provost. Only the crypt beneath the choir and the southwest tower remain as evidence of the Romanesque church structure. After the great city fire of 1403, the current nave was rebuilt first. The side aisles were only added later, although…
