Bad Münster am Stein - Ebernbu
Surrounded by shady trees, the Old Johanneskirche, the oldest preserved building in the district of Ebernburg and indeed the entire city, stands in the cemetery. The whitewashed church was built before the year 1200 and was first mentioned in writing in 1212. Its location between the hill of Ebernburg and the massive porphyry masses of the Rotenfels gives the place a particularly romantic aura. The church was part of the city wall, which is why it was called a fortified church. The marked feature is the pyramid-shaped roof of the square…
The local museum of local history is certainly worthwhile for young and old explorers of times past. It is located in the former manor house of the old noble family of Harxthausen, built around 1600. The permanent exhibition shows how rooms were furnished in this country in the 19th century and presents traditional crafts such as coopering, cobbling and weaving. Temporary exhibitions every two years are devoted to topics from historical everyday life and the historical development of Saulheim. The theme of the current exhibition is "A ramble…
Water House Built in 1905 in the Art Nouveau style for the water supply of Westhofen. In the 1960s, the pressure was no longer sufficient, and it was decommissioned. History and Stories Prominently visible, the water house from 1905, built in the Art Nouveau style, reflects the self-understanding of that era. Wilhelm II aspired to great power, rearmed, annexed land overseas, and constructed. The buildings always represented the thoughts of their respective time and their rulers; so does our water house,…
This trullo belongs to the Beyer-Bähr winery and was newly built. The trullo was given its name because the daughter of the winegrower re-embodied the figure of Frl. v. Flersheim for the first time. "A beautiful lady knight and a simple shepherd. She is from the von Flersheim family, a widely branched noble family to which the name of the district of Flörsheim as well as the 16th century residential tower there goes back. And he....? It is not known where its origins lay. So it is hardly surprising that this love story ended…

Only a part of the entrance of the former Lutheran church building is still visible. The sandstone plaque above refers to the year of construction 1753. After both the Catholic and Reformed congregations had their own new houses of worship, the six resident Lutheran families joined forces with fellow believers from the Kurmainz Rheingau across the Rhine. With the help of a collection, a modest small church was built and used jointly. As the only church in Frei-Weinheim, it did not have a bell. The Lutherans were assigned to Ober-Ingelheim.…
The lower part of Stiegelgasse and Edelgasse form one of the early cores of Ober-Ingelheim’s settlement. Here a significant number of aristocratic estates were concentrated. Most were singular farmsteads surrounded by large gardens or parks. The estate Stiegelgasse 65 with the Bodepark once belonged to the von Beuser family, one of the two sidelines of an early mentioned old Ingelheim kin of nobles. Around 1837, on this site, the estate of the wine and vinegar merchant Philipp August Gerhard was created, using old foundations. The…
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…
