Turm der Kirche

Bad Münster am Stein - Ebernbu

Evangelische Kirche, Alte Johanneskirche

Surrounded by shady trees, the Old Johanneskirche, the oldest preserved building in the district of Ebernburg and indeed the entire city, stands in the cemetery. The whitewashed church was built before the year 1200 and was first mentioned in writing in 1212. Its location between the hill of Ebernburg and the massive porphyry masses of the Rotenfels gives the place a particularly romantic aura. The church was part of the city wall, which is why it was called a fortified church. The marked feature is the pyramid-shaped roof of the square…

The cult of Mithras was brought to Mainz by Roman legionaries as early as the 2nd century. It was in direct competition with the emerging Christianity, as both religions showed some parallels. The underground sanctuaries, called Mithraea, consisted of elongated vaults with a Mithras altar at the end and were painted to resemble the starry sky.
