Great artists in the red wine city Andy Warhol, Chagall, Miró, Picasso, Rembrandt, Dürer, Goya and Paul Klee - to name just a few - have already found their way to Ingelheim. The old town hall in Nieder-Ingelheim, right next to the museum near the Kaiserpfalz, has served as a barrier-free location for world-class art enjoyment since 1986. Boehringer Ingelheim is partly responsible for this. Thanks to the pharmaceutical company's great commitment to the arts, the "International Days" have been held here for more than 60 years.…

The Trinity Church on Worms' market square is a "Reformation Memorial Church" that recalls the beginnings of the Reformation in Worms. The foundation stone was laid on 31 July 1709 and the church was consecrated sixteen years later. Largely destroyed during the nights of bombing in February and March 1945, it was rebuilt by Bauhaus architect Otto Bartning from 1955 to 1959. In the top of the tower there is a carillon that plays songs from the Protestant hymnal that are appropriate for the church year. Wilhelm Buschschulte created biblical…
As a "bridge saint," John of Nepomuk was drowned in the Vltava River in 1383 because he refused to reveal the confessional secret of the queen. His statue from 1771 was stolen and replaced by a new statue in 2005.
The access to the fountain path is hidden at the far end of this square. If you follow the narrow path to the left, the fountain path leads close to the narrow buildings along the Zuckerberg area. The origin of the name "Brunnenpfad" is unknown. Presumably it was a path the residents used to reach wells outside the fortified defensive walls. The so-called health fountain is also located at this circular route station. A staircase leads to the spring water, which gushes 4 meters below the surface, which used to be routed through a brick…
The Unterhaus in Mainz has been one of the most renowned venues for cabaret and small arts in Germany since its founding in 1966.

In addition to a wide-ranging stage program, the Unterhaus is also the host of the German Small Arts Prize, which is awarded annually and is one of the most important awards of its kind. This…
The watchtower above the town of Nierstein, located north of the Red Slope, is the highest vantage point in the vineyards, offering an outstanding panoramic view over Nierstein to Donnersberg, the Hessian Mountain Road, the Taunus, Wiesbaden, Mainz, and the Rhine-Main area. The stones used to build it came from the demolished Königsstuhl between Nierstein and Lörzweiler, where in 1024 the assembly of princes elected Conrad II as the first Salian king on the German throne. Origin of the watchtower: Medieval signal tower from the…
The 38-meter-high church tower of the Protestant church stands prominently visible and was inaugurated in 1910 after 17 months of construction. The organ, the ceiling painting, and the colorful windows radiate a special beauty. The interior of the church is designed according to the so-called "Wiesbaden Program." Accordingly, the altar, organ, and pulpit form a unity as they lie on a visual axis.
