by the mayor of the town of Nierstein, Thomas Günther, Member of the State Parliament,
Dear friends of Nierstein, dear future friends. You are currently reading a brochure in which Nierstein, a young town with a proud heritage, wants to introduce itself. Nierstein is young, because we received the town privilege only recently, in the year 2014. Nierstein has a proud heritage – the first documentary
evidence dates back to the year 742. Since then, a lot has happened. Nierstein
has developed into a medium-sized town on the Rhine river between Mainz
and Worms. This development includes the area of tourism: there are many wineries, taverns and restaurants, and the Cultural Summer Festival is appealing to
everybody. Add to that the idyllic town centre and the landscape dominated by
vines, and there is no doubt that you will enjoy your stay. Let me welcome you!
Visit Nierstein and find out more about the “home of Rhine enjoyment”.
Faithfully yours,
Thomas Günther

HE VINEYAR D “N I ER S T EI N ER GLÖ CK”
Just like the other famous European vineyards, “Niersteiner Glöck”
is also enclosed by historical walls. Its first documented mention
proves that it is the oldest vineyard in Germany. The soil, the slope
and the special microclimate of this historical vineyard are responsible for the distinctiveness and the high quality of the wine growing
on roughly 2 hectares (5 acres). The deed of donation concerning
the “Niersteiner Glöck” from 742 AD is also the first documentary
evidence mentioning the town of Nierstein.
S
IRO NA SPA
healthy through the ages...
The Sirona spa is an obvious piece of archeological evidence
from the Roman Age in Nierstein. It is located at the southern
end of town, directly at the Rhine river. In this spa, a spring
sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Sirona, four springs can
be found: two sulphur springs and two groundwater springs.
The existence of the healing springs lead to early settlements,
which can be clearly proven by finds dating back to Celtic, early
Germanic and Roman times. After having been concealed for
centuries, the sulphur spring was rediscovered in 1802. During
clearing work two copper coins embedded in balls of plaster
were discovered in a stone basin. The coins feature portraits of
Roman emperors from the years 86 to 267 AD. This discovery
clearly proves that the fountains were used by the Romans during this period of time. The Romans knew about the healing
powers of the sulphur springs, which the inscription on the
most important piece of evidence, a votive stone, shows: “Deo
Apollini et Sironae Julia Frontina v.s.l.l.m.” (votum solvit libens
laetus merito). In English: “For the god Apollo and for Sirona
Julia Frontina willingly, gladly and deservedly fulfilled her vow.”
The stone, therefore, was put in place by a
Roman lady who lived in the area – as a fulfilment of a vow to the two gods, after she
had been healed by using the spring’s water.
Today, the historical Sirona spa can be visited
from May to October every 2nd Sunday of
the month from 11 am to 3 pm. Guided tours
start on the hour. Additional guided tours for
groups and pupils can of course be arranged
on request. Please contact the Nierstein
“Kulturbüro” ahead of time.

Nierstein boasts with something special: on the façade of the winery “St. Urbanshof ” the biggest carillon in private
ownership can be seen and heard. The
16 gold bronze bells were manufactured
in a special foundry in Lower Saxony.
Models and inspiration were the bells
of Munich city hall or the bells of the
“Bürgerspital Zum heiligen Geist” in
Würzburg. When the carillon was first
unveiled in 1986, the former “Neugasse”,
the street in which it is located, was renamed “Glockengasse” (bell alley). Since
then, popular folk songs alternating with
wine songs can be heard according to a
fixed schedule.
P
ALAEONTOLOGICAL MUSEUM
“Stapf Collection”
Palaeontology as a science deals with life in past ages.
For those interested in geological history and fossils,
the “Stapf Collection” is a must-see. No visitor to Nierstein should miss the petrified documents from nature’s big
storybook. Since 1973, the Palaeontology Museum is situated in
the “Altes Rathhaus” (Old Town Hall), right in the centre, on market
square. Here you can discover archaeological finds from the “Mainz
basin”, as for instance a white shark’s teeth or the skeleton of a sea cow
that lived here some 30 million years ago, when large parts of Rheinhessen (Rhine-Hesse) were covered by the sea. Small dinosaurs’ footprints 280 million years old and thousands of
objects more offer spectacular insight in
the reality of life millions of years ago.

AR KE T S Q UA R E
The lovely market square in Nierstein’s centre is also the town’s
heart. The lighting concept was especially designed for this
square and for the restaurants, taverns and the café. Enjoy the
regional Rhine-Hessian atmosphere here on market square or
start here for a guided tour of Nierstein. You can book individual guided tours at our tourist office (Tourismusbüro).

INE C ULT UR E G OE S BACK TO

Since the Roman Age, the idyllic town of Nierstein, the beautiful scenery, and the
people and their history have been shaped by Rhine, vines, and wine.
Here you can breathe wine culture, here wine becomes an experience. Find out how
the sun finds its way into the wine, and enjoy the beauty of the countryside at the same
time.
The people in Nierstein will help you out. It goes without saying that hospitality is the
highest priority in our taverns and restaurants, in hotels and B&Bs, in the wineries, at
the festivals or on our vineyard-tours. Hospitality is typical of Rhine-Hesse! By the
way, Rhine-Hesse and Mainz, the capital of Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate),
became proud members of the “Great Wine Capitals” in 2008, a network of internationally renowned winegrowing cities and regions.

Geological history and outstanding Riesling wines meet… “Roter Hang” is one of the most famous German vineyards with a geological soil condition of red argillite sandstone, which is unique on
the globe. Here, vintners produce Riesling wines with international reputation that are proudly boasting with their place of origin! A very special treat is to taste this excellent wine at the very place where
it grows, between the sky and the Rhine: in the vineyard, during the “Presentation on Roter Hang”
on the second weekend of June. The evening of an exciting day should be enjoyed in the legendary
“Riesling Lounge”, in close vicinity to the Fockenberg hut: good music, fantastic Riesling wines and a
spectacular view are guaranteed!
The “Roter Hang” (red slope) is the precipice of the Rhine-Hessian plateau at the border between the
Mainz Basin and the Upper Rhine Rift. Here, red argillites and sandstones from the rock strata “Rotliegend” (German: the underlying red) can be found at the surface. This rock formation dates back
280 million years. The red stones in the Nierstein-Nackenheim area are considered the youngest sedimentary deposition of the “Rotliegend”-age in the Saar-Nahe Basin. Because of its isolated existence
it is referred to as “Nierstein-formation”. The red colour is caused by iron compounds (ferric trioxide)
which were formed under subtropical climatic conditions.
Due to the pressure of higher layers
over millions of years, clay mud turned into claystone and sand into solid sandstone. The characteristics of
the bedrock and the soil formation
are similar to those of slate (e.g. heat
storage capacity).
The unique quality of the soil on
the “Roter Hang” (red slope) is responsible for the reputation
of the world-renowned wines from this vineyard site, most of
which are excellent Riesling wines. The “Roter Hang” is subdivided into seven different vineyards: “Orbel,“ “Heiligenbaum,”
“Ölberg,” “Hipping,” “Brudersberg,” and “Pettenthal.” “Rothenberg“, in the neighbouring village of Nackenheim, is also part of
this site. These vineyards have always been considered the best
in Nierstein, and this is where today world-renowned Riesling
wines are being produced. (www.roter-hang.de)
N
I ER S T EI N CELEBR AT E S
Let’s enjoy ourselves together!
No matter which season, the people of Nierstein, Germany’s Riesling-town,
love to celebrate, especially together with their guests! Traditions play an important role: Since 1935, the “Winzerfest” (vintners’ festival) has been and is
being celebrated on the first weekend in August – with people from far and
wide attending. On the first weekend in July, the smaller, cosier event takes
place directly by the river bank: “Wein am Rhein” – wine by the Rhine – a
unique experience halfway between the cities of Mainz and Worms! Nierstein vintners host three more events to promote the quality and variety of
their wines: the “Wine Presentation on Roter Hang” on the second weekend
of June, “Spring awakening” in March (3rd weekend), and the “Open Wineries” on the 2nd weekend of September.
The events of the year are concluded on the day before Christmas Eve in the
town park with brass-band music.

EING A GUEST IN NIER STEIN …
A GR EAT EXPER IENCE AND ENJOYMENT!
Food and drink, accommodation and vineyard tours
In Nierstein as well as in the quaint suburb of Schwabsburg many hotels and B&Bs are looking forward to your
stay! If you are looking for the authentic experience in the world of wine, then you should spend the night in a
winery – with “feel-good guarantee”!
Carl Zuckmayer, famous author from the neighbouring village of Nackenheim, coined the phrase of the Rhine
river vintners as the “Europe’s winepressers“. Throughout history, many different peoples have left their mark on the
area of Rhine-Hesse: the Celts, the Romans, the Franks and the French. You can especially see and taste this variety
in our regional cooking, which you can enjoy in more than 20 taverns, wine bars and restaurants.
Vineyard tours have a long tradition in Nierstein, where they were invented. They offer a unique experience of
fantastic wines, a good time, joyful moments and spectacular views – in the heart of the vineyards!

“Kulturssommer” (Cultural Summer), the Nierstein
Summer Night and many more events
Although Nierstein is within a stone’s throw from cultural centres like Frankfurt, Wiesbaden or Mainz, the
town is proud of its own cultural life and boasts a diverse
range of cultural and entertainment events.
In the heart of town you can find one of the most beautiful open-air-areas in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate
and the Rhine-Main region: the Nierstein Park. In recent years, the concerts of the Nierstein Summer Night
were the highlight events of the Cultural Summer,
with stars like Suzie Quatro, BAP, the Höhner and the
Klostertaler. Moreover, numerous private initiatives,
groups, associations, but of course also the vintners, add
to the cultural life in Nierstein and Schwabsburg. The
initiative “Kultur um 8” (Culture at 8), the drama club
“Smeisser’s Scheune” (Smeisser’s Barn), the “Theater 50
Stühle” (50 Chairs Theatre), and the music and culture
club “Altes E-Werk” (Old Power Station) are but a few
examples of the diversity and range of cultural players
and events.

Sports and Exercise
Do you like activity holidays? You can do that in Nierstein and
Schwabsburg without a problem. Hiking, Nordic walking,
biking – great trails are waiting to be discovered. If you like golf,
try the 18-hole course at Domtal Mommenheim, or the miniature golf course in Nierstein.
Biking
Rhine-Hesse is known as “the land of 1,000 hills”, and the bike
is the ideal vehicle to discover the beauty of the countryside –
no matter if you prefer biking excursions or slow outings. There
are many cycle trails criss-crossing Rhine-Hesse, and the “Veloroute Rhine”, which follows the river from Basel to Mainz, also
runs through Nierstein! And there are interesting bike trails for
circular tours in and around Nierstein.
The “Amiche” is a 33 km circular bike trail that was built on the
former railroad track between Bodenheim and Alzey – and it is
ideal for beginners. You may want to enjoy the E-biking experience while you are here. (www.radrouten-rheinhessen.de)
Hiking
Hiking is big topic in Nierstein. It’s your choice – wonderful circular routes or long distance hiking on the RheinTerrassenWeg
(Rhine terraces hiking trail). Additionally, there are numerous
events that serve as ideal hiking destinations.
“Ridge walk” is the title of guided tours offered regularly by the
Rhine-Hessian Ambassadors of Culture and Wine and the Roter
Hang Club – feel, smell, and taste the “Roter Hang” (red slope).
The 3-towers-hike is a 15 km-long circular trail connecting the
three Nierstein towers: Trutzturm, Wartturm and the Schwabsburg Schlossturm. On May 1st, food and wine is being offered to
hikers along this trail.
Or maybe you like to hike on your own to the Nierstein Bruderberg – a hill which was awarded the title “the most beautiful
wine view in Rhine-Hesse”, by the German Wine Institute. Don’t
miss it! (www.verkehrsvereinnierstein.org) (www.kultur-undweinbotschafter.de)
Nordic Walking
Nordic walking has an ever-growing number of fans in Rhine-Hesse. All in all, there are approx. 350 km of well-constructed and signposted trails in “the land of 1,000 hills”. And Nierstein and Schwabsburg also offer a variety of beautiful trails, including those through
the “Roter Hang” (red slope)! (www.rheinhessenwalker.de)

A visit of the neighbouring town of Oppenheim is always worthwhile. Located towards south of Nierstein, Oppenheim has many
interesting sights like the famous church St. Katharina, the mysterious maze of cellars below the town’s houses
and roads, and the “Deutsches Weinbaumuseum
“ (German Museum of Winegrowing) are good
destinations while vacationing in Nierstein.

After having enjoyed the “the most beautiful wine view in Rhine-Hesse” from the Nierstein Bruderberg or the world famous
vineyards at the “Roter Hang” (red slope), you shouldn’t miss
the experience of the loop leading you to Schwabsburg: the
“Schlossturm” – a castle tower from the Staufer era – offers you
an impressive view over the hilly countryside of Rhine-Hesse!

For more than 60 km, this trail runs along the Rhine from
Worms to Mainz. You can easily return to Nierstein, because of
