Hildegard von Bingen left her home monastery on the Disibodenberg between 1147 and 1151 and founded her monastery on the Rupertsberg near the Nahe. In her nearly 30 years on the Rupertsberg, she wrote her main works . During the Thirty Years' War, the monastery was destroyed.

For a long time it was believed that the hall church was Charlemagne's palatine chapel. Archaeological excavations from 1960 to 1963 showed, however, that the church was not built until after the year 900, under Ottonian rule.

The menhirs date back to prehistoric times. Of the once larger group, three are still preserved today. The well-known "Hinkelstein" is still located near its original site at the southern edge of the village.

The "Dicke Stein" has been re-erected there, while the "Spitze Stein," which is broken into two pieces, lies on the ground a few meters away. A…
