Oestrich-Winkel

Oestrich-Winkel stretches along the northern bank of the Rhine River, featuring numerous vineyards that produce Riesling wines across its 59 square kilometers.

The merger of three independent municipalities, Mittelheim, Oestrich, and Winkel in 1972, followed by Hallgarten in 1977, formed the current administrative structure.

The Rheingau Musik Festival maintains its headquarters in a former winery, organizing classical music performances throughout multiple venues in the municipality.

The European Business School campus provides higher education opportunities, while the town connects to Frankfurt and Koblenz through railway services and Rhine River ferries.

The Oestricher Kran, an eighteenth-century wine loading crane on the Rhine riverbank, remains the final preserved structure of this type on the river's right side.
