Disibodenberg monastery ruins
A wonderful place
Where the Nahe and Glan rivers meet, the Disibodenberg rises up into the air and offers a sweeping view of the Nahe valley. Centuries-old stone remains rest on its heights. They bear witness to a life behind cool monastery walls whose origins date back to Disibodus, who built the first settlement on this symbolic site around 640. Today, a three-trunked oak tree rises up amidst the ruins of the abbey church as a symbol of the Trinity.
Nature and history have come together here to create a unique and mystical place. Between the remains of walls and old gravestones, you can follow in the footsteps of the most famous woman of the Middle Ages: St. Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) spent most of her life in the Bendictine monastery on the Disibodenberg.
Here she recorded her visions in the famous book Scivias and developed her world-famous naturopathy, which is still used today.
