The Rheingrafenstein is the landmark of the Bad Kreuznach district of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Somewhat below it is the ruined outer castle of Affenstein. A 200-hectare area around the rock formation was…
Every Roman city, even small ones, had theatres and baths. Historians therefore always assumed that a theatre or amphitheatre also existed at some stage in Mogontiacum. However, the discoveries made between 1914 and 1916 when a new road to the citadel was being constructed, took everybody by surprise. Excavations revealed a Roman theatre of gigantic size, the largest such building north of the Alps with an auditorium of 116 metres in width. Its stage alone measured 42 metres. The theatre was large enough for around ten thousand people, which…

The Bornheim lookout tower is located in the middle of the sea of vines and offers a wide view over Rhine-Hessian Switzerland. This is also the location of the "Hiwwelrast", a wine tasting stand run by the surrounding winegrowers.
Its tower, over 30m high, towers over Gau-Algesheim and provides orientation. The parish church of St. Cosmas and Damian was consecrated in 1889. The church was built on the foundations of the medieval predecessor. Only the present nave and the tower up to the first storey were preserved and extended. On the outside, a peculiar flat passage leads under the choir, the arches of which bear the stonemason's mark of Johann von Diepach. Liebfrauenland - Gothic in Rheinhessen
