From 1887 to 1888, the tower designed by architects Anton Louis and Johann Doll was built. Originally, it was to be a wooden tower, which was planned to be constructed on the western part of the Rochusberg, the so-called Scharlachkopf. However, the funding was initially lacking. After the death of longtime Bingen mayor Eberhard Soherr, the idea could be realized. He had stipulated in his will that 10,000 marks should be spent on the construction of a solid tower made of basalt lava and sandstone. The name Kaiser-Friedrich-Turm goes back to…
The lower part of Stiegelgasse and Edelgasse form one of the early cores of Ober-Ingelheim’s settlement. Here a significant number of aristocratic estates were concentrated. Most were singular farmsteads surrounded by large gardens or parks. The estate Stiegelgasse 65 with the Bodepark once belonged to the von Beuser family, one of the two sidelines of an early mentioned old Ingelheim kin of nobles. Around 1837, on this site, the estate of the wine and vinegar merchant Philipp August Gerhard was created, using old foundations. The…
The mercenary leader and the poet - the heyday and downfall of Ebernburg Castle The Hutten-Sickingen Monument If you take the B 48 to Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you will see the hill of Ebernburg Castle in front of you, as it has been rebuilt since the 19th century.

Both stand for a moment in world history…
The predecessor building standing in the middle of the walled churchyard was dedicated to all saints. However, it had to give way to the current structure in 1755, which is characterized by a uniform design from the time of its construction.

In the midst of the Rheinhessen orchards, between Bingen, Ingelheim, and Gau-Algesheim, the "rheinwelle" glimmers and sparkles in the sun. The shape of the building is unusual. It is modeled after the course of the Rhine and "flows" through the adjacent orchards. The bathing facilities range from a 25-meter sports swimming pool with a one-meter and three-meter diving board, to a learning pool for beginners, and an adventure pool with a current channel, wave ball, giant slide, climbing fish, and climbing wall. The little bathers can enjoy…
Only a part of the entrance of the former Lutheran church building is still visible. The sandstone plaque above refers to the year of construction 1753. After both the Catholic and Reformed congregations had their own new houses of worship, the six resident Lutheran families joined forces with fellow believers from the Kurmainz Rheingau across the Rhine.
