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 wall remains in this area. The light gray paving stones denote the footprint of the Carolingian palace complex. The view across the square also shows bluish-gray basalt paving. This darker pavement highlights the area to which the Kaiserpfalz was expanded from 1160 onwards. The course of the Staufer fortifications is traced by dark basalt slabs. This can be particularly well seen at the Zuckerberg, above the square. There, the outline of a former tower of the Staufer fortifications is marked by basalt slabs in the street pavement.
The information panels and the compass table at this station invite a search for traces in the monument area.
