The Rhine-Nahe Corner, the confluence of the Nahe River into the Rhine at Bingen, offers the best view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Middle Rhine Valley."
A Baroque hall structure with a hip roof, built from 1747 to 1751, extension of the community center, the south forecourt, and the new sacristy in 1970/71. Until the early 1970s, the former Catholic school was located nearby. The origins of the Church of Walburga, which stood on the Selz south of the current town center, can be dated back to the late 9th century based on the patronage documented since 1328. The first mention as "capella," initially probably a branch of Engelstadt, under the patronage of the Mainz St. Mauritius Foundation, is…
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…
The Wörrstadt Cultural Circle was founded on November 26, 1979. Its main task is to offer a diverse cultural program. Theater for adults and children, rock-pop-jazz concerts, staged readings, and lectures on the history of the region are among the main program points.

Zettels Theater has been a guest with its Shakespeare plays in the…
Beguines were women in the Middle Ages who, under the protection of the Christian community, strove to lead an intense life following Christ. Through their work in nursing and educational institutions and their knowledge of herbal medicine, they had a significant influence on social life at the time. Without entering a convent or taking a permanent vow, they were largely independent of the local Franciscan convent. Even though the three well-known beguine houses in Oppenheim are no longer preserved, we still invite you to travel back in time…
After a chequered history, culture moved into a building erected in 1925 for the Freemasons in 2003. Seminars, conferences, theatre and concerts take place in the pleasant and spacious ambience of the House of the Guest and ensure a varied programme all year round.

The ideal place for conferences and congresses. Exhibitions by contemporary artists enrich the…
As a supplement to the Hildegard exhibition in the neighboring Museum am Strom, the garden displays numerous plants that Hildegard described in her natural history ("Physica"). In this important collection, the learned Benedictine described almost 300 herbs, shrubs and trees with their (healing) effects on humans. Unfortunately, the work has survived only in late medieval copies, so that today no one knows the "original text" of Hildegard von Bingen. The didactically designed Hilde Garden presents the "Book of Plants" and the "Book of Trees"…
From the village, a large baroque staircase dating from 1741 leads up to the small Catholic church of St.Wigbert. The uniqueness of the console figures as well as the figurative depiction of angels, apostles and the decorative painting make the church an important architectural monument of the Middle Rhine region. Particularly worth seeing are the Romanesque choir room from 1107, the new diamond-shaped roof from around 1850, Gothic wall paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries and the rich Neo-Gothic carved altar from 1887 with St.…
