Bingen am Rhein

Bingen am Rhein extends across 37 square kilometers of terrain, featuring vineyards, historic fortresses, and waterfront districts at an elevation of 89 meters.

The settlement originated as Bingium, a Celtic establishment that transformed into a Roman military outpost along the vital Rhine Valley Road in the first century.

The town maintains strong connections to Saint Hildegard, a medieval composer and scholar, through regular music festivals and educational programs throughout the year.

The central location provides direct transportation links to major cities like Mainz and Wiesbaden, with regular train services and river navigation options.

The Mouse Tower on a small Rhine island stands as a medieval customs post, connected to a legend about a bishop who met his fate through mice.
