The Mennonite David Möllinger acquired the property at Hauptstr. 34 in 1744, later also the neighbouring farms and other land on a large scale. He practised arable farming, where he was able to contribute significantly to the abolition of three-field farming through fertilisation. He bred pigs and kept up to 40 fattened oxen. He grew grapes, distilled schnapps and brewed beer, which he stored in the cellar under the "Villa Fliedner". As a recognised economist, he became the purveyor to the court of the count of…
The culturally and historically significant St. George's Chapel from the 10th century is located on the grounds of a villa rustica that was established in 40 AD. Once an important pilgrimage site on the Roman route through Rheinhessen, St. George's Chapel is now only accessible during tours or events.
The high altar of the Baroque church encloses an exquisite statue of Mary made of lime wood, which was created around 1470 in the Upper Rhine region. It probably originates from the previous building, which belonged to a pilgrim hospital on the Way of St. James in the Middle Ages.

The mercenary leader and the poet - the heyday and downfall of Ebernburg Castle The Hutten-Sickingen Monument If you take the B 48 to Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you will see the hill of Ebernburg Castle in front of you, as it has been rebuilt since the 19th century. A second glance reveals a group of figures halfway up the hill. There, cast in bronze, are the knight Franz von Sickingen (1481-1523) and the poet Ulrich von Hutten (1488-1523), crowned with the poet's laurel by the emperor. Both stand for a moment in world history…
The Wackernheim council decided in 1860 to acquire a local bleaching site. In 1862, the necessary plot of about 3,800 m² was purchased from a total of ten different owners. The grass bleaching was a process in which white laundry, such as sheets or tablecloths, was freed from its gray veil. The washed linen or hemp textiles were spread out on the grass and continually moistened. The interplay of sunlight, water, and oxygen from the grasses triggered a chemical reaction that produced hydrogen peroxide in small amounts as a bleaching…
The building was erected in 1826/27 on the site of a previous building from 1608 (see the date on the cellar gate) in the former “Kirchgasse” (today “An der Burgkirche”). The hipped roof building has a gable-crowned middle part and a clock-tower with a clock and weather flag, added in 1837. Below the balcony the date 1827 can be seen. This is the most important classicistic town hall in Rheinhessen. The initial use as a town hall and courthouse for Ober-Ingelheim lasted until the three old Ingelheim village…
