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 "Babo Cottage" is a charming old vineyard cottage, built in 1786 by the Electoral Palatine Privy Councillor Johann Lambert Gregor von Babo. The cottage is perfect for a break with a beautiful view.
The Catholic parish church of St. Walburga was built in 1740. The Baroque hall church with a choir enclosed on three sides was formerly used as a simultaneous church. On the gallery of the parish church, you will discover a real treasure: the single-manual, eleven-stop organ built in 1763 by Joseph Anton Onimus. It is the only surviving organ by the famous organ builder and was lovingly renovated in 1993 by the company Förster und Niclaus.
The Oswaldhöhe is a vantage point from which you can let your gaze wander over the Rhine-Hessian village of Bornheim. There is also a table of wine here.
The water tower built in 1906 on the Höllberg near Wöllstein is considered a landmark of the place. The listed tower was restored in 2025. It is a popular meeting point and picnic area and is located on the Küstenweg Rheinhessen hiking trail.
The high altar of the Baroque church encloses an exquisite statue of Mary made of lime wood, which was created around 1470 in the Upper Rhine region. It probably originates from the previous building, which belonged to a pilgrim hospital on the Way of St. James in the Middle Ages.
Beguines were women in the Middle Ages who, under the protection of the Christian community, strove to lead an intense life following Christ. Through their work in nursing and educational institutions and their knowledge of herbal medicine, they had a significant influence on social life at the time. Without entering a convent or taking a permanent vow, they were largely independent of the local Franciscan convent. Even though the three well-known beguine houses in Oppenheim are no longer preserved, we still invite you to travel back in time…
Bad Münster am Stein - Ebernbu
Not far from the mighty backdrop of the Rotenfels in Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, the sculptors Kubach-Wilmsen built their open-air studio in 1968. Almost their entire life's work was created in this landscape. Since 2001 they have been transforming the abandoned vineyards into a stone sculpture park that is open to the public. A natural landscape in the Nahe valley opens up to the visitor and observer with stone sculptures as stone piece works of the earth. Nearly 30 sculptures have already found their place in this landscape. The…
