The castle Neu Baumburg, also called Neu-Bamberg, Neubamberg, is the ruin of an elevated castle above the community Neu-Bamberg. It was built around 1253 by the Raugrafen, mentioned in 1253 as "Novum castrum apud Sarlesheim" and in 1283 in the possession of the Raugrafen Heinrich II of Neuenbaumburg.

Hildegard von Bingen left her home monastery on the Disibodenberg between 1147 and 1151 and founded her monastery on the Rupertsberg near the Nahe.

Only six pillars of the southern nave wall of the monastery church have survived. In the villa on the Rupertsberg, the vanished Hildegard monastery has "come back to life," starting from the original monastery arcades from the Hildegard church, and can be explored…
Only a part of the entrance of the former Lutheran church building is still visible. The sandstone plaque above refers to the year of construction 1753. After both the Catholic and Reformed congregations had their own new houses of worship, the six resident Lutheran families joined forces with fellow believers from the Kurmainz Rheingau across the Rhine. With the help of a collection, a modest small church was built and used jointly. As the only church in Frei-Weinheim, it did not have a bell. The Lutherans were assigned to Ober-Ingelheim.…
A special feature among the vineyard cottages, which served as shelters for farmers and winegrowers throughout Rheinhessen, are the trulli. Like white sugar loaves, they shine between the rows of vines. Three of them can be found in the region around Flonheim. The name comes from the roundhouses that are mainly found in Apulia/Italy. In our region they were built in the 18th century as shelters in the vineyards, although there is no historical evidence as to whether the round houses from Puglia served as a model or not. One of the most…
The cross vault of the former winegrowers' farm is used in the Augenwaide as a sales room for flowers and decorations. The origin of the typical Rhine-Hessian vaults dates back to the early 19th century. In the course of secularisation, during which church properties, among other things, were nationalised, farm animals moved into cross-vaulted cellars for the first time. Lightweight brick was easy to work with and did not rot; it was also fireproof and more hygienic. Another reason for this construction method is the tried-and-tested…
