600 years alone on the island St. Paul's Church Out of the pedestrian zone and into the largest church nave between Mainz and Trier, not far from the Alte Nahebrücke bridge. The space impresses with its simple size. The fact that it is largely devoid of ornamentation is in keeping with the tradition of the Reformed congregation, who have used the church as the leading denomination since 1585. Visitors are surrounded by light, peace and harmony. Only the oak pulpit attracts attention. A boy, interpreted as an angel without wings, sits on…
The individual graduation towers are between 70 and 350 metres long and 9 metres high, embedded in a rocky valley, where thermal healing water trickles down from the 500-metre-deep spring and a fresh sea breeze blows with an evaporation area of 16,000 square metres in the Salinental valley. From 1732 - 1998 salt for baths and foods was produced with the help of these salt waterfalls.
The cellar alley runs along the southern support wall of the marketplace. Here are the entrances to twelve vaulted cellars, which were already mentioned around 1600 and extend far beneath the marketplace. They are part of the once extensive and interconnected cellar system, another feature of the wine-growing village. Even today, some of the cellars are used for wine storage and can be visited during the annual cellar tour that takes place during the grape blossom festival.
The exhibitons from the series 'Art in the Burggrafiat' take place in regular changes and show artwork of all kinds.

The edifice was completed in 1906 in art nouveau stile by the mason Jean Gemünden. It’s composed from an engine hall and a westward added living quarter for the keeper (machinist). The facade is structured by high windows with sprout frames. The living quarter is in „Landhaus“–style with framework and an elegant helmeted roof. This old power plant is a proof of the economical prosperity of Ober-Ingelheim in the early 20th century. Until 1945 two Diesel engines with a total of 100 HP (horsepower) powered the DC…
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 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.
