St. Remigius

St. Remigius is a Gothic church in Osthofen with a stone tower on the western side, supported by two consoles over a pointed arch. The tower is reinforced by Gothic buttresses that stabilize the structure.

The church began as a chapel for a religious military order at the end of the 13th century and later came under different administration. This transfer changed its role in the community.

The organ displays coats of arms representing the powers that shaped the region: symbols of Mainz and Worms show how this area was divided among different authorities. These emblems reflect the political forces that influenced local life.

The church has been fully accessible since renovation in 2017, with a new forecourt and level access for all visitors. This makes it easy to enter and explore the interior.

Two nearby street names - Tempelgasse and Tempelgässchen - preserve the memory of the former commandery that once stood here. These names remind visitors daily of the medieval past of this place.
