Simple wayside cross with view towards Petersberg

The single site runs west of the village, in the direction of Petersberg. It was mentioned in a document in 1501 with the name "am Crutzeberge". The site designation is based on an old field cross. A "Flur" is a delimited piece of land, thus an area designation. In former times one also spoke of "Flurnamen", quasi a similar counterpart to today's site designations. There is still a cross on the Kreuzberg today, but it is a classic, simple wayside cross. A bench invites you to rest. Different grape varieties grow all around on sand and loam marl as well as loess.

> Many vineyards contain the term "cross": Ockenheimer Kreuz or Oppenheimer Kreuz.

Steep up to the crypt, steep site for Riesling vintners

A path to the Lord God? Yes! Or at least almost. A steep path winds its way from Gau-Odernheim up to the 246-metre-high Petersberg, on whose spire stood a three-nave basilica with crypt dating from the 10th century. The remains of the crypt, which were found from 1947 onwards, are impressive: this architecture is otherwise only found in central Italy, and for Rheinhessen it is unique. The single vineyard takes its name from the processions that have led to the top of the mountain on church feast days for centuries. Full-bodied Rieslings with a high aging potential thrive here on clay marl. The Petersberg cultural trail offers a variety of insights into history, geology, fauna and flora - and leads right through the middle of this single vineyard.

Standing out

Framersheimer Hornberg, Ingelheimer Horn, Siefersheimer Goldenes Horn. The vineyard name with the suffix "Horn" is popular because it denotes protruding corners of a plateau. But there is ony thing that only Framersheim has: a 7-way labyrinth on the eastern tip of the Horn, built from 350 tonnes of limestone boulders. The curves there go back and forth, but never astray. At a height of about 280 metres, you can enjoy the view of the Odenwald (east), Kloppberg (south), Donnersberg (west) and Taunus with the Rhine plain (north). Clay marl forms the soil for numerous grape varieties.

The name of the location is the result of the contraction and alignment of "Hohenberg" and means "high mountain".
