Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) is one of the most significant and fascinating figures of the Middle Ages. She was a visionary, scientist, healer, politician, composer, theologian, and founded two monasteries (Rupertsberg on the Nahe and in Rüdesheim-Eibingen). Many of her writings, especially her knowledge of natural healing, have endured to this day.
Join tour guide Jacqueline Palzer on an exploratory tour around the Abbey of St. Hildegard, which was built from 1900 to 1904. Following the tour, we will end the afternoon with coffee and cake at the Klostercafé of the Abbey of St. Hildegard.
