From the village, a large baroque staircase dating from 1741 leads up to the small Catholic church of St.Wigbert. The uniqueness of the console figures as well as the figurative depiction of angels, apostles and the decorative painting make the church an important architectural monument of the Middle Rhine region. Particularly worth seeing are the Romanesque choir room from 1107, the new diamond-shaped roof from around 1850, Gothic wall paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries and the rich Neo-Gothic carved altar from 1887 with St.…

Beguines were women in the Middle Ages who, under the protection of the Christian community, strove to lead an intense life following Christ. Through their work in nursing and educational institutions and their knowledge of herbal medicine, they had a significant influence on social life at the time. Without entering a convent or taking a permanent vow, they were largely independent of the local Franciscan convent. Even though the three well-known beguine houses in Oppenheim are no longer preserved, we still invite you to travel back in time…

The existence of the Protestant church in Dorn-Dürkheim can be reliably traced back to 1245, although the original building was probably constructed almost 400 years earlier. The current building dates mainly from 1618. The church building is a rectangular hall structure and some of the choir walls are still Gothic. Particularly impressive is the originally free-standing tower on the north side, which brings a piece of history to life with its embrasures – without any division into floors.
The baptismal church of Hildegard of Bingen in Bermersheim v.d.H. has been used repeatedly since the Reformation and finally to the present day as a Simultankirche - a church used separately by both denominations. This is a Franken characteristic and it stands under the patron of Saint Martinus.

For art and culture lovers, it has developed into a venue with its own unique flair in recent years. Numerous performances, concerts and exhibitions take place throughout the year. In the open-air season in the unique courtyard of the mill building, in the cooler season in the adjacent council hall or even the historic cross vault (wedding room). This…
The edifice was completed in 1906 in art nouveau stile by the mason Jean Gemünden. It’s composed from an engine hall and a westward added living quarter for the keeper (machinist). The facade is structured by high windows with sprout frames. The living quarter is in „Landhaus“–style with framework and an elegant helmeted roof. This old power plant is a proof of the economical prosperity of Ober-Ingelheim in the early 20th century. Until 1945 two Diesel engines with a total of 100 HP (horsepower) powered the DC…
