Ober-Olmer Kapellenberg

Ober-Olmer Kapellenberg (Chapel Hill of Ober-Olm)

The little chapel naming the vineyard

The name of the single vineyard comes from the small chapel on the outskirts of Ober-Olm, the St. Valentinus Chapel. It was mentioned as early as 1342. The present building is a late Gothic hall church that was extended around 1720 in Baroque style. The chapel was formerly the destination of pilgrimages to St. Valentine, the emergency helper of those suffering from the "falling sickness". A wide variety of grape varieties thrive on clay marl and limestone. The single vineyard sites are widely distributed: The largest area lies on the outskirts of Ober-Olm in the direction of Essenheim, smaller areas lie to the north-east in the direction of Klein-Winternheim and to the east towards Ebersheim.

Mommenheimer Silbergrube

Mommenheimer Silbergrube

Talk is silver, drinking is gold 

Were there silver deposits in Rheinhessen or in the village of Mommenheim? Questionable. The location was already mentioned in a document in 1436 with the name "in der silbergruben". A pit is a depression in the ground, so far so good. After all, Mommenheim is located at the foot of the Zornheimer Berg. The "silver" in the name of vineyards is usually meant metaphorically. Just like the term "gold." It underlines the value of the site. Rarely is the naming based on really shiny minerals, like galena (also called galena among miners) or silver ore. If this were the case in the fertile loess soils in the Mommenheim silver mine, it would certainly be publicized. Already Charles the Great had a vineyard planted in Mommenheim. Possibly near today's friendship bench at the Wingertshäuschen?

Framersheimer Hornberg

Framersheimer Hornberg

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.

In a metaphorical name, this is a good vineyard location. Only rarely is such a name based on the occurrence of shiny rocks such as galena.

Gau-Odernheimer Herrgottspfad

Gau-Odernheimer Herrgottspfad (Lord God's Path of Gau Odernheim)

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.
