For several centuries, ship mills operated on the Rhine River near Ginsheim. Up to 21 of these floating small businesses for grain processing were anchored here simultaneously, before they had to make way for the rising industrialization and increasing shipping traffic. Today, the authentic reconstruction of the last productive Rhine ship mill offers interesting and exciting insights into the technology and working conditions of past times.
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…
Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg
The Rheingrafenstein is a 136 m high porphyry rock formation on the Nahe opposite Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Geologically, it belongs to the Kreuznach Massif.

The Rheingrafenstein is the landmark of the Bad Kreuznach district of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Somewhat below it is the ruined outer castle of Affenstein. A 200-hectare area around the rock formation was…
The Bornstraße runs along a water-retaining layer, where several springs emerge horizontally. The spring water has been collected in several wells. The Loseborn was already described in 1348 and fed a well here in the 15th century. A two-pipe well is documented here for the early 19th century, which was renewed around 1860. The Bornstraße was originally named after this spring and was still called Losebornstraße in the 19th century. Between the properties Bornstraße 1 and 3, there once flowed a three-pipe well,…
The Catholic Parish Church of St. Gereon, built in 1716, is imposingly situated on a hill that offers visitors a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. The church is listed as an architectural monument in the list of cultural monuments in Rhineland-Palatinate and houses an impressive high altar (1698) and beautiful ceiling paintings in the choir room by Hans Thumann from 1936. The RheinTerrassenWeg leads directly past the baroque hall building.
Probably built in the 16th century, the town hall still impresses with its half-timbered upper storey. It owes its salvation to an expert opinion from 1903, in which the historic town hall was already classified as very interesting in terms of art history. The town hall square serves as a venue for events throughout the year, and every year in August the traditional Weinbergshäuschenwanderung invites visitors to socialise. This location is part of an audiovisual route and offers the possibility to watch/listen to additional content on…
The trullo, or rather the trulli (plural), as there are 6 of these vineyard houses around Flörsheim-Dalsheim, originally served as a shelter for the field marksmen (Wingertsschützen). At the time when most of these houses were built - in the middle of the 18th century - their main task was to protect the vines and the vineyard stakes from wood theft. The Trullo am Nussbaum in Flörsheim-Dalsheim was awarded a prize by the Rheinhessen Wine Brotherhood in 2016 - on behalf of all the Flörsheim-Dalsheim trulli - and stands at a…
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,…
