The tower built around the year 1000 and the old silent organ from 1784, along with the beautiful stained glass windows and a wing altar, provide a successful cross-section through different eras. During the Thirty Years' War and also in the War of the Palatine Succession, the church, regarded as the main fortification of the village, was heavily damaged and partially destroyed. In 1706, it was assigned to the Protestants, who renovated it with a flat ceiling in 1725. Even after several renovations, the overall structure of today's church…
Kneipp Health Facility Please note the following: An important principle when using cold water is that the body must be actively warmed beforehand. Never start an arm bath or foot bath with cold hands or feet! So, if you are not warm yet, make up for it now with brisk movement, such as gymnastics or running. Water treading: lift your feet out of the water with every step (stork walk). Stay in the water only until a strong cold stimulus occurs in your legs. Afterwards, shake off the water and warm up. Have fun and good health wishes…
The medieval cemetery "Judensand" on Mombacher Straße is largely preserved. Time and again, expulsions of the Jewish community led to clearances and alterations, causing many gravestones to be lost. Since the 1860s, significant gravestones of Jewish origin have repeatedly surfaced during construction work in Mainz. In 1926, Rabbis Levi and Salfeld united prominent gravestones to create a memorial cemetery, in order to make the Jewish heritage visible and emphasize the community's location in Magenza and Germany. The oldest preserved…

The cross vault in the Korfmann Winery, built in 1840, was turned into a wine tavern in 1999, which can accommodate up to 50 people. General information on Rheinhessen cow chapels .The origin of the typical Rheinhessen vaults goes back to the early 19th century. At that time, farmers wanted to increase the yield of their cattle by keeping them in stables and use the leftovers as fertiliser for their fields. Initially, the cattle were housed on the ground floor of the half-timbered houses, above which hay and straw were stored. However,…
As a supplement to the Hildegard exhibition in the neighboring Museum am Strom, the garden displays numerous plants that Hildegard described in her natural history ("Physica"). In this important collection, the learned Benedictine described almost 300 herbs, shrubs and trees with their (healing) effects on humans. Unfortunately, the work has survived only in late medieval copies, so that today no one knows the "original text" of Hildegard von Bingen. The didactically designed Hilde Garden presents the "Book of Plants" and the "Book of Trees"…
