Whether from the A63, the Paris Street (L401), or the B420 towards Nierstein – the Protestant Mountain Church is visible from many directions and impressively situated among the vineyards. The building is oriented in the style of a Romanesque basilica and unites different architectural epochs: a square Romanesque tower, a Gothic nave, and a late Gothic choir. After a fire in the 16th century, the high choir was added with pointed arch windows and star vaults, so today only the central nave of the original three-aisled basilica remains.…
The foundation stone for the construction of the synagogue was laid in 1855, which was acquired by the local community in 1900 for use as a kindergarten. The synagogue served as a church only until the year 1874. After that, the building came into the possession of the Protestant parish, which originally wanted to demolish it to build a community center. However, due to the objection from the state monument preservation, this did not happen. Even today, the synagogue is used as a Protestant community center.
A grid gate leads to the grounds of the modern Jewish cemetery. This was established at the latest in the 18th century in the former bastion, a strip only five meters wide next to the Aula regia. Presumably, the majority of the graves date from the 19th century; however, due to the severe weathering of the gravestones, a precise dating is no longer possible. After the Nazi takeover, the Jewish cemetery was expropriated in 1935. All 25 gravestones were relocated to the Jewish cemetery in Ober-Ingelheim. During the redesign of the access to…
The name of this alley derives from a little wooden footbridge to the east of the gate, over which the knowing ones could enter the village late at night when the main gate was closed. The Stiegelgässer Tor, first mentioned 1483, was the southern exit towards Groß-Winternheim, primarily to the numerous mills along the Selz. Still preserved are the round towers guarding the former gate. The western one has a merlon wreath and external stairs. In the eastern tower a deep cellar is located.
