Sights

If you have always wanted to say hello to a 12.5-metre-high lady of note, Rüdesheim is the place to go — or rather, far above the roofs and vineyards of the city.

You simply can’t miss the bronze statue of Germania in Rüdesheim. It sits atop a 32-metre-high memorial known as the Niederwalddenkmal. Find out why this confident figure stretches her crown up into the air, certain she will be victorious.
Then take a moment to enjoy the amazing view before you get to know the ‘cradle of German wine culture’, as the 900-year-old Eberbach Abbey, the well-appointed Schloss Vollrads or Schloss Johannisberg with its world-famous Bibliotheca subterranea are known.
This cultural region features abbeys, churches and basilica, palaces, castles and museums, reflecting 2000 years of history. The four named above may well be the most famous, places that thrill and inspire those who visit them. 
But of course there are plenty of other cultural wonders and interesting buildings to visit in the Rheingau and Wiesbaden! We have listed 22 highlights for you here.
