Quartzite lies between chapel and church The Rochuskapelle (Rochus Chapel) towers above, the Kempten district of Bingen on the banks of the Rhine below. In between the picturesque "Binger Kirchberg" vineyard, first mentioned in 1726. It probably got its name from the view of Kempten's Dreikönigskirche (holy trinity church). Mainly Riesling grows here, but there is also some Pinot Noir found. The loam-loess soil has a high stone content and is very rich in lime and quartzite.

The name of the single location is based on the old national transport route.
The location was documented in the 12th century with the name "im Osterberg". To Middle High German means "Easter" located in the east and indicates the eastern location to the municipality Büdesheim.
In the position was an old landmark on which an open hand (Latin Palma = flat hand) was pictured and thus contributed to the naming.
The name of the old vineyard is based on the property of the parish.
The location was mentioned in the 17th century with the name "im Rosengarten". The rose gardens can point to a natural growth. Often, however, they point to early medieval burial places.
The name comes from the Middle High German word "rogues" and means carcasses. The term is thus based on an old Schinderacker.
