Monsheimer Rosengarten

Devotional, romantic or humorous?  The location was mentioned in a document in 1750 with the name "in the rose garden". The planting of the noble flower, the rose, may have led to its name. Often, however, these vineyard anmen point to early medieval burial sites. Which of these is true, we do not know today. But the single vineyard is quite romantic today in spring - with pink blossoming almond trees. And is adorned by two trulli, small white round houses. The radio tower trullo looks particularly funny. A funny architectural ensemble…

Monzernheimer Goldberg

The cool gold on the mountain  "We think this location is fantastic! What name are we going to give it?" It must have gone like this or something similar. The golden mountains - Rheinhessen has numerous ones - stand by name for the general esteem in which they are held. Gold is not mined here. However, magnificent wines thrive on sand and clay marl as well as limestone, rare terra fusca, in the Monzernheimer Goldberg. Monzernheim vineyards are situated higher than others in Rheinhessen. In addition, the Goldberg is placed on a northeast…

Mörstadter Nonnengarten

Once tended by women  Nuns once owned vineyards here. Hence the name. Which nunnery was it? If you read the history of Mörstadt, many monasteries were present in turn. Lorsch Monastery, Worms Cathedral Abbey, Otterberg Abbey. But is one of these meant? And was it a pure nunnery or was it a double monastery (i.e. for monks and nuns), but exclusively the nuns owned and tended the vineyards? Many question marks. What is clear today is that both women and men can produce tasty wines. No matter what religion or creed they belong to.…

Nackenheimer Rothenberg

Where the "Rote Hang" (engl. red slope) is at its reddest It is the northernmost and one of the steepest sites in the "Rote Hang", the most popular vineyard in Nierstein, and borders directly on the municipality of Nackenheim. The "Rote Hang" takes its name from the geological formation "Rotliegendem". A red soil, coloured by ferruginous clay slate. It is possible that the Rothenberg got its name from the Rotliegendem. The soil is said to be reddest here. Another interpretation would point to an old “Rodungsgebiet” (engl.…

Nieder-Flörsheimer Frauenberg (Women’s mountain of Nieder-Flörsheim)

Of nuns and damsels Women were once in charge here: the site was first mentioned in a document in 1290 with the name "an frauwenhalten". Originally, the hill was owned by a nunnery. Riesling and Pinot Noir vines grow on loess and limestone. Benches and a table at the "Fräulein von Flersheim" trullo can be used for a rest. In summer, roses bloom lushly there. The red vineyard hut at the Goldbergbrunnen is partly catered for. > Info about the trullo "Fräulein von Flersheim", owned by Weingut Beyer-Bähr:…

Nieder-Hilbersheimer Mönchspforte

The location was mentioned in 1740 with the name "an der Porth". Here was the estate of a Mainz city monastery.

Nieder-Hilbersheimer Steinacker

Nieder-Hilbesheimer Honigberg

The location was mentioned in 1740 with the name "zu Hönnigen". This common vineyard seed name probably does not go back to a "bee pasture". Presumably, the name of the location by the old Weinsorten- or. Quality designation "hunnisch" emerged. However, the meaning is not yet clear.

Nieder-Olmer Klosterberg

Of archbishops, literati and swingers  The name of the camp is based on a settlement of the Mainz monastery. Already in the early Middle Ages, Nieder-Olm belonged to the archbishop of Mainz. The Klosterberg site flanks Nieder-Olm (elevated to town status in 2006). Hikers and panorama-seekers are recommended to take the slope towards Zornheimer Berg. At several vantage points with benches and a vineyard swing you have a great view over the Selz valley. The Wilhelm Holzamer Literature Trail also runs through the middle of the single…

Niersteiner Brudersberg (Brother’s mountain of Nierstein)

Whether physical or spiritual brother - cheers to the Riesling!   Different interpretations are circulating here: Is the name of the vineyard based on the property of a monastery? Or does it go back to the four brothers of the Haxthäuser Hof, who shared the site from 1804 to 1835? Perhaps both are true? The Brudersberg is quite easy for everyone to locate: It bears the official inscription "Roter Hang" in white letters. Above the lettering, surrounded by a few trees: a lookout point with benches and a waving flag. In 2012, the…
