In 1880, the city architect Eduard Kreyssig built a new Jewish cemetery on Untere Zahlbacher Strasse adjacent to the main city cemetery. As a consequence, the old Jewish cemetery known as Judensand at Mombacher Strasse was closed. The entrance to the new cemetery bears a commemorative plaque from 1948. Its inscription can be translated as "Erected in memory of our victims. To shame the murderers. And as a reminder to the living." Fortunately, the graves remained undefiled during the time of the Nazi regime. To this day, members of the Jewish…
Through the door behind the altar of the imposing transverse hall from 1775, you enter the medieval tower, the chancel of the previous building. From there you can enter the pulpit via a modern staircase through the former east window.

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…
The monastery and convent of St. Paulus, built from 1002 onwards, is located in the centre of Worms and is a place of peace and quiet in this lively city. The collegiate church was originally built as a three-nave Romanesque pillar basilica, and the stone dome helmets of the two pagan towers give the church its special appearance. Unlike other collegiate churches, the choir is closed on five sides in good late Romanesque forms. The west building has an octagonal dome (13th century) and is flanked by two older stone-covered round towers…

Between the funeral hall and the Catholic parsonage stands a stone pillar topped with an ancient helmet, a plate with flags, and a broken cannon. The monument was erected for the soldiers from the canton of Wörrstadt who returned from or fell in the Napoleonic campaigns.
