Ingelheim am Rhein

Among the cities of Rhineland-Palatinate, Ingelheim am Rhein stands out for its Carolingian imperial palace beside the Rhine. Charlemagne had the Kaiserpfalz built here in the late eighth century, and its excavated remains make Ingelheim one of Germany’s key sites for understanding the early medieval empire. The town lies on the Rhine’s western bank amid the vineyards of Rheinhessen, a region long associated with wine production; Ingelheim is particularly known for red wine. Romanesque and later elements at the palace site reveal how the settlement continued to matter after the Carolingian period.
