The wine-growing community of Schornsheim was first mentioned in 782 AD in a deed of gift from Charlemagne to the Hersfeld monastery. He donated his Schornsheim treasury, including the church and land, to "Saint Lioba" as a retirement home. She is one of the most important women of the Middle Ages. Although Lioba of Tauberbischofsheim only lived in Schornsheim for a few months until her death, she is still very much present here today. She stands as a bronze Benedictine abbess in the middle of the village square, surrounded by an artificial…

The Malakoffturm marks the southwest corner of the curtain wall around the Ober-Ingelheim castle church. In 1856, the former Alte Wache was renamed and has been called the Malakoffturm since then. The reason was - in the abbreviated version - the storming of the Malakov bastion in the Crimean War (1853-1856) by the Allies. The victory ended the war and as a result massive, large towers were given the name Malakoff throughout Western Europe. From the 19 meter high tower you have a nice view over the roofs of Ingelheim over to the…

For a long time it was believed that the hall church was Charlemagne's palatine chapel. Archaeological excavations from 1960 to 1963 showed, however, that the church was not built until after the year 900, under Ottonian rule. However, the latest charcoal samples from the foundation date the church to the years 1027-1154, i.e. the time of the Salians. In 2004 archaeologists found two early medieval predecessor buildings to the north of the hall church during excavations. They probably served Charlemagne and the following rulers as a small…
