An event venue with a WOW effect! Visitors to the kING Kultur- und Kongresshalle experience cultural enjoyment at the highest level! With 324 windows and hardly a straight wall, it is an architectural eye-catcher in the centre of Ingelheim. However, its true greatness is revealed inside: Since its opening in 2017, the multifunctional concert and congress hall has enriched Ingelheim's cultural life with a varied programme of events and attracts people from the region and far beyond to the red wine town. Whether concerts or musicals, shows…
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…
The small church seems to have practically disappeared behind a high wall. The ground floor of the Romanesque chancel tower was rebuilt with an arched ceiling in the early 14th century. On the sides of both the tracery windows, on the east and south walls, paintings with their decoration have been preserved and show Peter and Paul as well as two ohter disciples or prophets. The delicately made figures stand under painted Wimperg arches. The sacristy, added in the 15th century, is very large and lavish compared to the chancel.
The Old Signal Box was built in 1899 at the intersection of the railway lines Alzey – Bingen and Alzey – Mainz. It was decommissioned in 2007. Today, train control is handled by electronic signal box technology. The Old Signal Box Armsheim Nord (An) is the only one of its kind (mechanical Stahmer signal box technology) in Rheinhessen, where all technical facilities of the block and lever systems, as well as the tensioning system, are completely preserved. Thus, visitors can closely experience how the work of a pointsman was until…
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 Mission Heisje Shelter house from the year 1766 Sturdy construction made of quarried stones with a barrel roof. In the 1980s, the Heisje was renovated and equipped with a concrete plaster. At the same time, the staircase and terrace were cast, and a railing was installed. Between 1983 and 2005, there was a "note mission" there: Believers could supply themselves from an open mailbox with Bible quotes and praises from the Marian Sisters from Darmstadt-Eberstadt. Can you find the two psalms that are still displayed on the…
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,…
The “spa island” of Badewörth lies between the main arm of the River Nahe and the Mühlenteich canal. Locals bored the first salt water spring in 1832 at the very point where the Nahe and Mühlenkanal split. They named the spring Elisabethquelle – the “Elisabeth Spring” – after the wife of the King of Prussia. The building was used as the pump rooms until 1989 and now houses a wine bar. Salt water is now in the thermal baths and in the health centre, with inhalations and with therapeutic mud…
