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 town hall was built in 1832. In exchange for another site, the municipality of Monsheim received the building and the land from the Möllinger family. From then on, the house served as the town hall, and later the kitchen, the milk collection point and the fire brigade were also housed here. Today, meetings of the local council are held here, as well as the office hours of the local mayor. Text taken from Tour of Monsheim with kind permission.
The Malakoffturm marks the southwest corner of the curtain wall around the Ober-Ingelheim castle church. In 1856, the former Alte Wache was renamed and has been called the Malakoffturm since then. The reason was - in the abbreviated version - the storming of the Malakov bastion in the Crimean War (1853-1856) by the Allies. The victory ended the war and as a result massive, large towers were given the name Malakoff throughout Western Europe. From the 19 meter high tower you have a nice view over the roofs of Ingelheim over to the…

"This cathedral above the Rhine valley would have remained in my memory in all its power and grandeur, even if I had never seen it again," wrote the writer Anna Seghers. The immense cathedral still gives the city its face a thousand years after its construction, and it has shaped its history. Mainz, at the intersection of ancient trade routes, became the ecclesiastical center north of the Alps with the work of St. Boniface starting in 746/47; it received the title "Holy See" during the reign of Willigis (975-1011) in Mainz. Willigis,…
