Oppenheim, Medieval municipality in Mainz-Bingen district, Germany
The urban settlement rises 87 meters above sea level along the Rhine River banks, featuring stone buildings and narrow streets within ancient walls.
The settlement gained status as a Free Imperial City in 1225 under Frederick II, maintaining independence until French troops captured it during the Nine Years War.
The Katharinenkirche displays Germanic Gothic architecture with stone carvings, while the German Viticultural Museum presents traditional winemaking equipment and techniques.
The Oppenheimer Kellerlabyrinth, an underground network of 650 meters of cellar passages, opens for guided tours throughout spring and summer months.
The town maintains the oldest wine press from Geistermühle, representing centuries of Rhine Valley wine production traditions and techniques.
