For several centuries, ship mills operated on the Rhine River near Ginsheim. Up to 21 of these floating small businesses for grain processing were anchored here simultaneously, before they had to make way for the rising industrialization and increasing shipping traffic. Today, the authentic reconstruction of the last productive Rhine ship mill offers interesting and exciting insights into the technology and working conditions of past times.
This archaeological presentation area is divided into two levels. On the lower level there is a once underground water basin from the Carolingian era. On the intermediate level, which corresponds to the walking level of the 8th century, an incision in the ground allows one to see the exposed supply line of the basin. In the past, the basin was mistakenly called "Karlsbad". draws. In fact, it was related to a seven kilo meter long long-distance water pipeline running underground from Heidesheim the Wackernheimer Tal led to the Kaiserpfalz.…

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 clock tower, which is under monumental protection, is the landmark of the municipality Neu-Bamberg. Once it belonged to the 3 gates of the town fortification. The village owes its origin to the Neue Baumburg (Novo Boinburc), which was founded by the Raugrafen in 1253 and whose ruins still characterise the townscape today. Restored half-timbered houses, farms, gardens and the old water house give the village centre on the castle hill its unique charm.
“This cathedral above the Rhine Valley would have remained etched in my memory in all its power and grandeur, even if I had never seen it again,” wrote the writer Anna Seghers. Even a millennium after its construction, the Mainz Cathedral significantly shapes the cityscape and history of Mainz. At the intersection of important trade and transportation routes, the city developed, thanks to the activities of Saint Boniface from 746/47, into the ecclesiastical center north of the Alps and was granted the honorary title "Holy See"…
The existence of the Protestant church in Dorn-Dürkheim can be reliably traced back to 1245, although the original building was probably constructed almost 400 years earlier. The current building dates mainly from 1618. The church building is a rectangular hall structure and some of the choir walls are still Gothic. Particularly impressive is the originally free-standing tower on the north side, which brings a piece of history to life with its embrasures – without any division into floors.
On the east flank of the Mainzer Berg the old defences are particularly massive and here are probably the best remaining parts of the wall, watchtowers and the low laying obstacle in the ditch. Here the Breitbach feeds the ditch. The romantic part along the so called Seufzerpfädchen (path of sighs) - it was the path where lovers used to meet - runs from Rinderbach (now Schillerplatz) to the traditional red-wine festival site and meets the outer courtyard at the Burgkirche – the starting point for every round-trip of the city…
