Most beautiful connection The arch bridge has gracefully connected Mainz with the Kastel on the right bank of the Rhine since 1885. It is considered an important and one of the most beautiful axes across the Rhine. The Theodor Heuss Bridge is not only frequented by cars - it is an integral part of many cycling and jogging tours. From here, walkers enjoy the view over the river to Mainz. Built near the ancient Roman bridge and the later electoral ship bridge, the Theodor Heuss Bridge was something special for the people on both sides of…
The church is elevated and was once surrounded by a defensive wall and a ring of elm trees (Effenring), as is often the case in Rheinhessen. The stocky small choir in the tower and the sacristy attached to the east were provided with a net vault in 1494, according to a record of a console stone of the sacristy.

The town hall in Bodenheim is a typical example of the Franconian-Hessian half-timbered construction style of the Renaissance around 1600 and is considered one of the most beautiful half-timbered houses in Rheinhessen.

It was built in 1608 under the then lord of the village, Provost Anton Walpot von Bassenheim, as a new courthouse for the Mainz Knights' Abbey of St Alban. In the bay window, we recognise the…
Wines and estates are spectacular. The castle ensemble (16th/17th century) towers stately over Ingelheim. In 1900, the von Opel family acquired the estate. Today, the VDP winery is run by Count and Countess Schönburg-Glauchau in the fourth generation.
