HILDEGARD OF BINGEN ON RUPERTSBERG Hildegard of Bingen left her home abbey on Disibodenberg between 1147 and 1151 and founded her abbey on Rupertsberg, on the Nahe river. “This abbey was founded not by an emperor or bishop, a powerful or rich person of this world, but rather by a poor, weak, immigrant woman.
