Hildegard von Bingen was given into care of a monastery at a young age. At an early stage she dealt with religion, medicine, ethics and music and wrote numerous works about it in the course of her life. She was the consultant of influential personalities of the middle ages and left an outstanding heritage with her teachings about the knowledge of medicinal herbs and the harmony between body, mind and soul.
Get to know the universal teaching in the 'Hildegard city' Bingen! The historic museum 'am Strom' dedicates a permanent exhibition to her and planted an idyllic herb garden on the basis of her natural history transmission. The vaulted cellar 'Rupertsberger' is the only preserved remain of her self founded monastery. Important scenes out of the life of the abbess show the Hildegard altar in the Rochus chapel and next to it is the Hildegard forum where the sisters of the cross devote themselves to the vivid communication of her messages. Additionally you can learn a lot knowledgeable about the works of Hildegard von Bingen on the 137 kilometre long Hildegard von Bingen pilgrimage trail which of course also leads through her main site of activity.
