The Dativius-Victor arch is an important Roman monument, of which one third of the originally about 75 architectural blocks have been preserved, discovered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, now on display in their original form in the stone hall of the state museum and as a copy in Ernst-Ludwig-Platz, and which were partially integrated into a late antique wall in antiquity.
Of the two churches in the village, the newer one belongs to the Reformed. The simply designed church building is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden.
Of the Templar church of a moated castle in the Appelbach valley, first mentioned in 1258, only the choir, consisting of a pre-joch and 5/8 end, has survived. It lies hidden in the middle of a farm. The extremely high quality architecture is decorated with naturalistic leaf capitals. These outstanding works belong to the circle of the so-called "Naumburg Master", one of the best sculptors of the 13th century. He was trained in Reims and helped to teach the new forms of architecture on his way via Noyon, Mainz and Naumburg. The small, precious…
The town of Ludwigshöhe and its church are relatively young. The original town of Rudelsheim was located in the Rhine floodplains and was largely abandoned after a flood disaster in 1819. The last residents moved their houses to a higher location in 1830, and the original Rudelsheim church was destroyed by fire in 1832. In 1848, the new St. Vitus Church was built in the new village of Ludwigshöhe, towering above the village.
Here once stood the Catholic school building, which was built in 1857. Already in 1850, the Catholic priest of Heidesheim, Heinrich Berthes, had promised the church fund the donation of this property. It was to serve as housing for clergy, accommodation for the organist and the bell ringer, as well as a classroom for the Catholic confessional school. Until the introduction of communal schools, the Catholic teacher Josef Becker from Heidesheim lived and taught here. Afterwards, the house was rented out and finally auctioned off in 1896 to…
The local community of Westhofen was granted market rights in 1334. The marketplace is today listed as a historical monument as a whole and is one of the most beautiful in Rheinhessen due to its cohesiveness. In the past, weekly and annual markets were held in the lower part, the Gänsemarkt. The upper area served as a churchyard and burial site. The basic structure of its design was established in 1832. Architectural elements from the 16th to the early 19th century have been preserved in the surrounding buildings. Today, the marketplace…
As part of the urban redevelopment of the Archaeological Zone Kaiserpfalz Ingelheim, the layout of the Kaiserpfalz has been made visible in the pavement. From this viewpoint, the paving marking is particularly well recognized going uphill. White travertine slabs indicate the course of early medieval foundations from the construction phase around 800, which are now located beneath the modern streets and paths. Thus, among other things, the course and dimensions of the semicircular building become visible, even though there are no above-ground…
The two vineyard swings offer the wonderful opportunity to gently sway back and forth, let your feet dangle, and feel very close to the Rheinhessen sky. The two swings are a joint project of the city with a Nieder-Olm wine-growing operation.
