The Untertorturm is one of the seven towers of the Fleckenmauer wall built in the 15th century for protection. The gate, which was knocked down in 1840, was previously operated day and night. The battlements led around the tower over the gate to the other side of the street. Until the renovation in 1989, the high entrance in the west was the only access to the three-storey watchtower. Among other things, the tower served as a guardroom and probably also as the guard's flat. Text according to the signs on the tower with the kind permission of…
The name of this alley derives from a little wooden footbridge to the east of the gate, over which the knowing ones could enter the village late at night when the main gate was closed. The Stiegelgässer Tor, first mentioned 1483, was the southern exit towards Groß-Winternheim, primarily to the numerous mills along the Selz. Still preserved are the round towers guarding the former gate. The western one has a merlon wreath and external stairs. In the eastern tower a deep cellar is located.

Bad Münster am Stein Ebernburg
From the railroad station to the House of Art - in the disused Ebernburg railroad station, visual artists exhibit their works of painting, graphic art, sculpture, ceramics or photographic art. 30 years ago, the building was converted into an exhibition house run by volunteers.

Old works and new ones created in Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg are then presented in an exhibition. The annual…
A church in Monsheim was first mentioned in 1496 - a fortified church in the Romanesque style. The bell tower with its three bells dates back to 1878. In 1904/05, the form that can be seen today was created by adding the vestibule on the north side and creating a choir room. A modernisation phase from 1965-74 gave the church interior a rather cool objectivity. The interior renovation carried out in 2000 gave the church back its Art Nouveau paintings and thus its special touch. Text taken from Rundgang Monsheim with kind permission.Former…
