ST. RUPERTUS AND ST. HILDEGARD
WITH HILDEGARD CENTER
Not far from the former monastery of Saint Hildegard on the
Rupertsberg in Bingerbrück stands the Catholic Hildegard
Memorial Church. This church, built at the end of the 19th century,
is dedicated to Saint Hildegard and Saint Rupertus. In reference
to the monastery church of the Ruprecht Monastery, the
church was built in Romanesque architectural styles. Inside the church,
there is a small shrine with relics of Saint Hildegard and Saint
Rupertus. The impressive windows in the transept of the
church depict the life and work of Saint Hildegard.
Since 2019, the church has been a Hildegard center. The church space
serves as a venue for concerts and cultural events. It is
a spiritual center for pilgrims and people seeking peace and
quiet. A special feature is the “Media Church System”
(MediaKi). At a touchscreen terminal, visitors can choose
from short devotions, psalms, and songs. The choir area
and the side altars are illuminated in corresponding colors.
In summer, you can even visit the church until 6 PM.
It is located on the Hildegard von Bingen Pilgrimage Trail (Idar-
Oberstein to Bingen) & on the Ausonius Trail / Hunsrück
Hiking Trail (Trier to Bingen).
OPENING HOURS:
daily from 10 AM – 4 PM
