The construction of a forester's lodge in the second half of the 18th century is linked to the appointment of a kurfürstlichen forester. He was responsible for the entire Ingelheimer territory. The government aimed to combat the ongoing wood shortage with targeted reforestation. Sand dunes in the Nieder-Ingelheimer district were planted with pines. The wooded floodplains of the Rhine were managed. With the oversight of the planting of white mulberry trees to promote silk production, the forester received an important additional task…
This trullo belongs to the Beyer-Bähr winery and was newly built. The trullo was given its name because the daughter of the winegrower re-embodied the figure of Frl. v. Flersheim for the first time. "A beautiful lady knight and a simple shepherd. She is from the von Flersheim family, a widely branched noble family to which the name of the district of Flörsheim as well as the 16th century residential tower there goes back. And he....? It is not known where its origins lay. So it is hardly surprising that this love story ended…

At this location, there is a well shaft that was situated beneath an asphalt surface until 2012. As part of the urban renovation, the Saalbrunnen has once again become a component of the local landscape. Today, travertine blocks mark its location. The location of the Saalbrunnen is particularly interesting: It is precisely at the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse axes of the Carolingian core buildings. Thus, the location of the Saalbrunnen marked the center of the palatial complex around the year 800. The symmetrical…
There are two churches on Gaustraße in Mommenheim. A church in Mommenheim was first mentioned in 791 in the so-called “Lorsch Codex.” The current Protestant church dates back to 1472. After being destroyed by French troops, the church was rebuilt around 1700. The Catholic Church of St. Martin was built in 1719 in the rural Baroque style. The high altar was created in 1767 for the old Capuchin monastery in Mainz and came to Mommenheim after its secularization by Napoleon.
Shaped from fire and water: The Goose Rock Formation From the Salinental, one looks eastwards to a rock formation that looks like a huge slagheap. This was given its name in Celtic times: "Ganda", i.e. steep slope with rock debris.

The Nahe - Celtic "Nawa" - carved its way into this rock and dug its way deeper and deeper into it. This is…
