The stone was erected around 1832 and commemorates the construction of the "Ingelheimer Grundstraße" (1829-1832), which here to the west of Stadecken intersected the country road from Mainz to Bad Kreuznach over Sprendlingen.
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 expansive building complex located north of the village (district of Elsheim) includes the courtyard on the plateau edge with adjacent park and agricultural areas extending to the municipal boundary with Schwabenheim. The settlement, created amidst the associated arable land likely through deforestation in the 12th century, belonged to the "Ingelheimer Grund" and only appears in documents in 1307 ("wynthuß berge"). Early owners included, among others, the Monastery of Ingelheimerhausen (1328-1411).
The market hall, built from 1920 to 1921 predominantly in dressed red sandstone near the train station, is considered an important functional building of the early 20th century, which still has a significant impact on the local landscape due to its location and size.
Those who hike up the slope behind Gau-Weinheim will encounter the semi-architecturally interesting seminar pavilion, with its cozy resting place in the middle of the vineyards. From there, visitors have a unique view of the village and the Rheinhessen hills. Follow the signs towards the seminar pavilion.
The local community of Westhofen was granted market rights in 1334. The marketplace is today listed as a historical monument as a whole and is one of the most beautiful in Rheinhessen due to its cohesiveness. In the past, weekly and annual markets were held in the lower part, the Gänsemarkt. The upper area served as a churchyard and burial site. The basic structure of its design was established in 1832. Architectural elements from the 16th to the early 19th century have been preserved in the surrounding buildings. Today, the marketplace…
The Roman Tower is a 9.8 m high observation tower built in 1998 in the vineyards northwest of Guntersblum. It is located directly on the RheinTerrassenWeg. 19 steps of an angled staircase at the back lead to the 5.6 m high covered viewing platform. From the platform, visitors have a very good view of the Rhine Valley, the Odenwald and Taunus and as far as Frankfurt, among other places. The Roman Tower is located near the place where a Roman Villa Rustica with a wine cellar was discovered a few years ago, thus pointing to the Roman past of…
At the mouth of the Nahe into the Rhine - a wonderful spot for views of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley and the Rheingau. Perfect, as the sun sets directly behind the Mouse Tower.
