The sand-lime brick profile and the accompanying information panel provide information about the geology of the region and its impact on wine growing.
The former fortification was first mentioned in 1354 and consisted of a tower-reinforced wall, six fortified gates, ditches and a rampart. The battlements (Letzen) formerly moved the entire patch. Remains of the wall can still be seen in the street "An der Letze", which bears various inscriptions about destruction and reconstruction, and there is also the Powder Tower, the last preserved tower.
Next to the semicircular apse of the Aula regia (Throne Hall), an archaeological shelter was erected in 2000. The accessible steel and glass construction preserves the extraordinarily well-preserved remains of a 12th-century Staufer heating system. Due to its shape, size and its condition, it is a unique testimony to the history of high medieval technology. Detailed information on this heating system is provided on information boards on and in the protective structure. The key to the shelter can be borrowed from the visitor centre and the…
Once you have mastered the challenging ascent along the Höhenweg, you will see the Napoleon Tower on the hill between Ober-Hilbersheim and Sprendlingen. With its signalling arms, it is modelled on a historic telegraph pole and thus attracts the attention of hikers and cyclists from afar. In Napoleonic times, it was used to send the first short messages - the first text messages in history, so to speak - over a distance of around 12 kilometres. The signalling arms are based on the ‘Chappe system’, which was developed by the…
The medieval Liebfrauenkirche is surrounded by vineyards. It was built in the Gothic style from 1276 and was completed in 1465 according to the building inscription. Originally, it served as a collegiate church, in whose construction the citizens of Worms took a lively interest. It is the only one of the many Gothic churches in Worms that have been preserved. The surrounding vineyards and their wine, the "Liebfrauenmilch", received their name from the church. The original "Liebfrauenmilch" is still cultivated in the area around the church…
The foundation is intended to preserve and cultivate the life's work of the sculptor Eberhard Linke, to make his works accessible to the public, to make them scientifically accessible and to place them in the history of art. At the same time, the Foundation promotes younger artists and offers working stays and courses in the Foundation's premises in Flonheim for the hollow construction of terracotta sculptures. The studio regularly hosts concerts, readings, film screenings and lectures.
The neighbouring earlier Hessen Amtsgericht is a neo baroque complex, whose 3 wings encase a courtyard open to the south. This palace-like estate was built between 1907 and 1909, according to plans of the Hessisches Hochbauamt Darmstadt. The facade of the main building is dominated by a triangular gable. An open stair leds to an admirably rounded portal guarded by pillars above which a coat of arms with the inscription “Hessisches Amtsgericht” is preserved. At the end of the 20th century these premises were sold by the state…
