Ingelheim am Rhein in southwestern Germany has so much to offer for a lover of history, what is shown here is only a small portion of things to see. I loved wandering these streets, biking the paths, even grocery shopping was a beautiful adventure. The beginning photos are of a defensive wall that was built around the city, as well as the various entrances and towers. The Burgkirche, a protestant church, was built within the defense walls and excavations have found it dating back to the 1100s. Charlemagne decided in 787 to use Ingelheim as a winter residence. In fact, Ingelheim has the only gold coin with Charlemagne’s likeness. The remnants of the Imperial Palace walls as well as some items excavated from it can be found in another portion of Ingelheim. Some of the palace walls have even been incorporated into modern housing! Since Ingelheim is located along the Rhein and I lived on Rheinstrasse (Rhein Street), I’ve included some scenery, wildlife and nature photos of the Rhein region. The last group of pictures are of the more modern section of Ingelheim, mostly dating after the 1700s. The extensive landscape photos were taken from the top of the Bismarckturm/tower. I hope this video shows just a little bit of the beauty you can find in this Rheinland-Palatinate city. Sources used were wikipedia,kaiserpfalz-ingelheim.de, ingelheimer-geschichte.de.
