The facade is structured by pointed arch blind frame windows arranged evenly. Above the gate opening, there are two large niches on the city side, containing paired pointed arch windows and reliefs in the spandrels: to the left, the busts of a king, and to the right, a pair of patricians with a hairband. Comparable stone half-figures of bourgeois couples from the 14th century, originally from the war-destroyed house "Zum Molsberg," are now preserved in the state museum. The pointed arch, hollowed gate passage is vaulted with ribbed vaulting…
Europe´s first wine church can be found in Alzey-Weinheim. It is a House of God made of vines, alive and growing, that are so near to the sky but tightly-rooted in the earth.
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.
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 city master builder Eduard Kreyßig (1830–1897) is responsible for giving the Neustadt its defining architectural and urban character, even though World War II left severe damages. Many Gründerzeit buildings, some with magnificent facades, as well as the prominently visible Christuskirche have, however, been preserved. In recent years, a careful renovation of the district has taken place. Modern architects and artists have enriched the appearance of the Neustadt with their buildings and artworks – for example,…

The Roman Tower is a 9.8 m high observation tower built in 1998 in the vineyards northwest of Guntersblum. It is located directly on the RheinTerrassenWeg. 19 steps of an angled staircase at the back lead to the 5.6 m high covered viewing platform. From the platform, visitors have a very good view of the Rhine Valley, the Odenwald and Taunus and as far as Frankfurt, among other places. The Roman Tower is located near the place where a Roman Villa Rustica with a wine cellar was discovered a few years ago, thus pointing to the Roman past of…
