Great artists in the red wine city Andy Warhol, Chagall, Miró, Picasso, Rembrandt, Dürer, Goya and Paul Klee - to name just a few - have already found their way to Ingelheim. The old town hall in Nieder-Ingelheim, right next to the museum near the Kaiserpfalz, has served as a barrier-free location for world-class art enjoyment since 1986. Boehringer Ingelheim is partly responsible for this. Thanks to the pharmaceutical company's great commitment to the arts, the "International Days" have been held here for more than 60 years.…
As a "bridge saint," John of Nepomuk was drowned in the Vltava River in 1383 because he refused to reveal the confessional secret of the queen. His statue from 1771 was stolen and replaced by a new statue in 2005.
One of the many trulli, the vineyard cottages with the Italian name, which served as shelters in the vineyard. This one stands directly on an old sunken path. Hollow paths have dug themselves deep into the surrounding terrain over the centuries. No wonder, where man has used and travelled them so extensively. At their edges are high embankments with interesting flora and fauna. There are not many paths of this kind left. The 'Monsheimer Hohl' was probably created by farmers from the northern communities bringing their grain south to…
Colloquially, the building is jokingly referred to as "Fuchsbau" – in reference to the then-serving mayor Jockel Fuchs – or "officials' prison." It is undoubtedly a distinctive building with its own, unmistakable form language. For five centuries, Mainz had no town hall until the city council commissioned the renowned Danish architectural firm Jacobsen and Weitling to design a new building in 1968. Otto Weitling, one of the architects, expressed his hopes in 1974: "We believe we have created a place of high value that will arouse…
Somewhat hidden behind the café and directly next to the Drusus Stone on the Citadel lies the City Historical Museum in Building D – opened in 2003, but still almost a insider tip. The museum is a private institution and is funded by membership fees, donations, and entrance fees. The sponsor is the Mainz City Historical Museum Association, which was founded in 1996. The museum offers a comprehensive overview of the history of the city of Mainz, but places a particular emphasis on social and economic historical aspects. Exhibits…

The central attraction of the Rochusberg is the pilgrimage church of St. Rochus, built in 1895 in neo-Gothic style. The first chapel was built on this site in 1666. The Rochus pilgrimage with Rochus festival also goes back to this time. A special feature is the Hildegard and Rupertus altar from 1895: The Hildegard altar shows scenes from the lives of the saints (outside of the service times only the church vestibule is open). In the Hildegard Forum of the Sisters of the Cross, exhibitions, lectures and seminars deal with the saint. A…
The Wine Village Museum in Horrweiler is located in the old centre of the village, opposite the "Alte Kelter". Interested visitors can gain a comprehensive insight into village life in past centuries.

A large part of the exhibition is dedicated to winegrowing from bygone times with various tools. On the upper floor, we immerse ourselves in the classroom from earlier times;…
