On a terrain between Stiegelgasse and Jungfernpfad which is now settled again, there was the synagogue, built in 1841 as “a nice copy of oriental style” .The entrance was in Stielgelgasse. Crossing a small garden, the gate was reached. A side door led to the female emporium, another to the emplacement of the choir, where the organ was also situated. The main hall had 10-12 rows with 5 to 6 seats each on both sides. The Torah case was at the end of the hall on an elevated place. There both reading and the sermon took place. The…
Where the street "An der Bachwiese" runs today, the Mühlbach used to flow. This was an artificially created watercourse that was fed from the springs on the Neuberg and in the Große Wiese. It drove the mill wheel of the Mitzmühle and then crossed Hasselstraße. Beyond the Mühlstraße it joined the Osterbach. The water power of this stream then served the grinders of the three lower mills. In addition, the water from the nearby springs was used. All the mills in Wackernheim were driven by water wheels with…
With the Pertelturm, I realised a long-standing dream that had already developed in childhood. Back then, I was surprised by a thunderstorm during a potato harvest; a Wingertshäusjen provided shelter for many farmers and even their livestock that day. That left its mark. Today I would like to show with this tower, which is a living recycle from many regions of Rheinhessen, that we in Reinhessen can also get something going. Only by prior request! With two cosy rooms and two viewing platforms, it is intended to be a contact point for…
The monastery and convent of St. Paulus, built from 1002 onwards, is located in the centre of Worms and is a place of peace and quiet in this lively city. The collegiate church was originally built as a three-nave Romanesque pillar basilica, and the stone dome helmets of the two pagan towers give the church its special appearance. Unlike other collegiate churches, the choir is closed on five sides in good late Romanesque forms. The west building has an octagonal dome (13th century) and is flanked by two older stone-covered round towers…

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.
From the village, a large baroque staircase dating from 1741 leads up to the small Catholic church of St.Wigbert. The uniqueness of the console figures as well as the figurative depiction of angels, apostles and the decorative painting make the church an important architectural monument of the Middle Rhine region. Particularly worth seeing are the Romanesque choir room from 1107, the new diamond-shaped roof from around 1850, Gothic wall paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries and the rich Neo-Gothic carved altar from 1887 with St.…
Whether you are coming from the Autobahn (A63), the Pariser Strasse (L401) or the federal road (B420) in the direction of Nierstein, you can see the Protestant mountain church in the middle of the vineyards from almost anywhere. The mountain church, built in the style of a Romanesque basilica, impresses with an ensemble of different architectural styles - the square Romanesque tower, the Gothic nave and the late Gothic chancel. After a fire in the 16th century, the high choir with ogival windows and star vaults was added, so that only the…
