The soil profile is part of the Gau-Algesheim geoecological adventure trail. A soil outcrop and an information panel provide information about the formation of the Mainz Basin's calcareous tertiary.
With the Pertelturm, I realised a long-standing dream that had already developed in childhood. Back then, I was surprised by a thunderstorm during a potato harvest; a Wingertshäusjen provided shelter for many farmers and even their livestock that day. That left its mark. Today I would like to show with this tower, which is a living recycle from many regions of Rheinhessen, that we in Reinhessen can also get something going. Only by prior request! With two cosy rooms and two viewing platforms, it is intended to be a contact point for…
In 1880, the city architect Eduard Kreyssig built a new Jewish cemetery on Untere Zahlbacher Strasse adjacent to the main city cemetery. As a consequence, the old Jewish cemetery known as Judensand at Mombacher Strasse was closed. The entrance to the new cemetery bears a commemorative plaque from 1948. Its inscription can be translated as "Erected in memory of our victims. To shame the murderers. And as a reminder to the living." Fortunately, the graves remained undefiled during the time of the Nazi regime. To this day, members of the Jewish…
The small Romanesque building is dedicated to the patron saint of winegrowers and was perhaps built before 1000. Later alterations include a high late Gothic choir with fine star vaulting, similar to those in Armsheim and Gabsheim. Large crucifixion painting 1750. Liebfrauenland - Gothic in Rhinehessen
The all-around accessible main wall was mainly constructed in the 15th century. Its most vulnerable flank at the Mainzer Berg was strengthened by the addition of a Zwinger (inner defence gate). The only entrance (at Grabengasse/Kirchgasse) received an outer gate, a so-called “Barbarkane”. The second, southern breach was created in 1873 and provided access to the vineyards. The most salient point is the so-called Malakoff tower - formerly the “Alte Wache” (old guard post) with its dungeon. It offers an impressive…
This vantage point offers a beautiful panoramic view that extends far over the hilly landscape of Rhine-Hesse. There is also a table of wine here. These tables are real Rhine-Hessian resting places. With their length of five metres, they also offer larger groups the ideal opportunity to take a break together. The table of the wine at the Hiwweltour Heideblick is located in the vineyard "Golden Horn" in the district of Siefersheim. Dominant are loess soils. One finds here and there also volcanic stone.
