In the immediate vicinity of the Deutschherrenhof on Hauptstraße (main street), a few hundred meters west of the Protestant church, is the New Leiningen Palace. The history of the Deutschherrenhof, a cultural monument, dates back to the 15th century. It originally belonged to the Lock family from Hangen-Wahlheim. At the beginning of the 16th century, the estate fell to the Teutonic Order and has been called Deutschherrenhof ever since. At the beginning of the 18th century, the old estate buildings were demolished and completely rebuilt.…
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…
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 Roman Theater in Mainz is one of the largest ancient stage buildings north of the Alps. Built presumably in the 1st century AD, it was located on the southern slope of the Kästrich, below the present-day citadel. With a stage width of about 42 meters and an audience diameter of 116 meters, the theater could accommodate around 10,000 visitors – an impressive scale that clearly illustrates the importance of Mogontiacum, Roman Mainz. Theaters of this kind were central places of public life in the Roman Empire and reflected the…
At the entrance to the Ulmengraben on Pariser Straße, opposite the catholic church at the “Neutor” square, stone frames in gallows shape stand. These so-called “rests” were formerly used by peasant women to set down their burdens, and were originally located in the “Oberfeld”, i.e., the area above the Schlossberg. Moreover, at Neutor there is still a column from the former Wörrstadt Castle.
The column erected in 1914 on the Liebfrauenberg commemorates a pilgrimage chapel built by the Dalbergers, whose existence is already mentioned in a document from 1326 on the Liebfrauenberg.
The museum offers insights into the life of the author who was born in Bingen in 1868. You can also see his writing desk, part of his bequest libary, examples of different book designs and editions as well as foreign language translations of George´s works and several sculptures.
The andesite quarries are old volcanic rocks. There are small round inclusions in the rocks of the stone edge, so-called almond stones, which are usually filled with chlorite or calcite. The andesite deposits can be reached via the Flonheim coastal path or the Aulheimer Valley Hiwweltour. Along these paths, you will pass volcanic fractures alternating with the typical Flonheim sandstone.
