The Kirschbühl Hollow To describe the formation of a hollow way, one cannot avoid taking a look at the loess. The loess that was blown to us during the last Ice Age consists of 20% lime and remains stable in its angular shape at the cliff edges and in the hollow ways. By driving vehicles on the hollow ways, in earlier years with carts and livestock, the loess is loosened and turns to dust. During heavy rain, the loose soil is washed away, leading to ever-deepening paths - a hollow way is created. Today, many hollow ways are paved to…
The Protestant church in Uelversheim is a special church, built in 1722 in the Baroque style as an octagonal central building. The original furnishings are still preserved today and convey an authentic impression of times gone by. In the center of the church building, along the main axis from west to east, you will find the altar, the pulpit, and the organ with its magnificent Rococo facade from 1754, crowned by trumpet-blowing angels. The gallery, which surrounds the room on five sides, was extended in 1836. The 20 balustrade panels of the…

In 1270, the first Carmelites came to Mainz. The first proper monastery was built together with the church in the first half of the 14th century. During the secularization, the monastery was dissolved in 1802. Only over a hundred years later, in 1924, did the Carmelite church revert to the mendicant order that had been established in Mainz since 1270. Until then, it had been used as a storage space and was saved from demolition only through the protests of Mainz citizens. The construction of the current monastery began in 1963. Since 1964,…
After the nave of the Catholic Church had to be demolished in the 1930s due to dilapidation, the Protestant parish was faced with the question of where to hold its services in the future. The official commissioning took place on September 25, 1853. The church owes its name to Grand Duke Ludwig III. from Hesse. In addition to a Köhler organ, the church has two stained glass windows by the Odenwald artist Heinz Hindorf and liturgically differently colored antependiums by the Rheingau artist Magarethe Keith as treasures. One window shows…
