Historischer Rundgang Saulheim

Saulheim

Historischer Rundgang Saulheim

The historical tour of the medieval centre of Nieder-Saulheim offers a very interesting insight into the village's history, which goes back more than 1250 years. A large number of historic buildings, all equipped with detailed information boards, bring to life the eventful past in the heart of Rhine-Hesse.

Lutherkirche

Worms

Lutherkirche

The Lutheran church in the west of the city centre was built between 1910 and 1912 according to plans by Prof. Friedrich Pützer.

The single-nave hall building has a pulpit altar.

The chirping of birds and the rustling of grape leaves in the wind make this experience unforgettable.

The didactically designed Hilde Garden presents the "Book of Plants" and the "Book of Trees"…

St. Antony's: vaulted ceiling

Mainz

St. Antonius, ehem. Armklarenkirche

The impressive choir of the church built around 1330 for the Antonites still stands today. Along with the Carmelite and Reichklaren churches, it is one of the three preserved monastery churches from the Gothic period. From 1620 until the secularization in 1802, it served the Poor Clares. The single-aisled choir contains a complete cycle of paintings from the time of its construction, the only one of its kind in Mainz. The paintings were uncovered and supplemented in 1948, so that the uniform overall image conveys the original spatial…

Kastanie Ganz

Ockenheim

Naturdenkmal Rosskastanie Ockenheim

A true natural monument is the over 370-year-old horse chestnut tree in the Ockenheim cemetery. With a trunk circumference of 5 meters and an impressive crown diameter of 25 meters, it is not only the oldest horse chestnut in Rheinhessen but also one of the oldest in all of Germany.
