As part of the urban redevelopment of the Archaeological Zone Kaiserpfalz Ingelheim, the layout of the Kaiserpfalz has been made visible in the pavement. From this viewpoint, the paving marking is particularly well recognized going uphill. White travertine slabs indicate the course of early medieval foundations from the construction phase around 800, which are now located beneath the modern streets and paths. Thus, among other things, the course and dimensions of the semicircular building become visible, even though there are no above-ground…
In Ockenheim, the Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul invites you on a journey into the past. The building from the late 18th century impresses with its baroque architecture and the magnificent saint figures.

During the siege of Mainz in 1793, the synagogue was heavily damaged, but the repairs took 25 years. In the Night of Broken Glass in 1938, National Socialists looted and desecrated the building, but did not set it on fire to protect neighboring houses. In 1940, the synagogue and its property were sold under duress and later used as a shed and chicken coop. The significance of the synagogue was forgotten until the exhibition "Jews in Mainz" brought it back to public consciousness in 1978. The hidden building was placed under monument…
In 1880, the city architect of Mainz, Eduard Kreyßig, established a new Jewish cemetery on Untere Zahlbacher Straße next to the main cemetery of Mainz. This ended the use of the old cemetery Judensand on Mombacher Straße. A memorial plaque at the entrance has commemorated since 1948 with the inscription: "In memory of our victims. To the shame of the murderers. As a reminder to the living." The graves remained intact during the Nazi regime and wartime, and to this day, members of the Jewish community are buried here. 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…
The chapel and tower of Villa Heiligenblut were built in the Romantic style in the 1780s. Today, civil weddings can be held in the chapel, which is owned by the Gerhard Hannemann family.
Since 1381, Jews have been documented as residing in Wörrstadt, as at that time a "Jewish gate" was mentioned for the first time. The designation refers to a gate on the access or exit road of the fortifications. There were also the "Jewish gardens," which were vegetable gardens located outside the village (today to the left and right of Talstraße). Around 1800, there was already a Jewish burial site located on "Kehlberg" (now Eichenring), but it was no longer in use by 1870/1873. Eight gravestones can still be seen in this…
