Kneipp Health Facility Please note the following: An important principle when using cold water is that the body must be actively warmed beforehand. Never start an arm bath or foot bath with cold hands or feet! So, if you are not warm yet, make up for it now with brisk movement, such as gymnastics or running. Water treading: lift your feet out of the water with every step (stork walk). Stay in the water only until a strong cold stimulus occurs in your legs. Afterwards, shake off the water and warm up. Have fun and good health wishes…

History and Construction In the mid-4th century, a reconstruction of the existing city wall, which dated back to the 3rd century, took place. This was significantly shortened, leaving the Roman theater and the abandoned legion camp, along with other important areas of the city, outside its bounds. Old demolition material (spolia) from the camp buildings was reused for the reconstruction. Furthermore, the road that was paved with sandstone and led to the former porta praetoria continued to be used. To ensure the use of this important road…

Scientifically, it has been dated to the construction period of the Imperial Palace, namely the late 8th century AD. The long-distance water pipeline supplied high-quality drinking water from the spring area "Karlsquelle" near Heidesheim through the Wackernheimer Valley to Nieder-Ingelheim, into the palace of Charlemagne. This was achieved through a 6.8 km long canal, which mostly ran underground. The structure, built from…
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…
