Over 10 years ago, an idea gradually became reality. The Guntersblum initiative "Rotkehlchen" planned and built an attractive viewing point in the southern district of Guntersblum, the Leckbart-Haisje. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 13, 2007. Over 1,000 hours of voluntary work went into creating this vineyard cottage as a gem in the middle of the vineyards. The official opening and inauguration finally took place in April 2008. Today, the RheinTerrassenWeg and the Lutherweg lead directly past the Leckbart-Haisje. The…
The Julianenbrunnen, popularly known as the Giljebrunne, is a 400-year-old fountain in the center of the Guntersblum Kellerweg, which is famous for its great wine festival. The building is now considered a cultural monument. Unfortunately, the exact age of the Julianenbrunnen is unknown. The first mention of a fountain at this location dates back to 1472, but the spring has probably been fortified for longer. The Julianenbrunnen was first officially documented in 1608. At this time, the fountain was renovated and the year was carved slightly…
Windeck Castle in the centre of the district of Heidesheim was built by the knight Herdegen zu Winternheim in 1209 in the style of a tower castle with Gothic residential buildings. Originally, it was probably a moated castle with a moat and a curtain wall. Various owners used the castle as a residence, tannery and perforated mill, but also for religious services, before the municipality of Heidesheim am Rhein acquired it in 1993 with the aim of saving it from decay. Today, the building houses a community centre, a mayor's office and a wedding…

History and Construction In the mid-4th century, a reconstruction of the existing city wall, which dated back to the 3rd century, took place. This was significantly shortened, leaving the Roman theater and the abandoned legion camp, along with other important areas of the city, outside its bounds. Old demolition material (spolia) from the camp buildings was reused for the reconstruction. Furthermore, the road that was paved with sandstone and led to the former porta praetoria continued to be used. To ensure the use of this important road…
