Eltville's Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

Eltville is less well-known to outsiders than Rüdesheim, but it is much nicer.
If you visit Eltville, you should also take a look at Kiedrich, which is 3 kilometers away: in my opinion, the most rustic place in the Rheingau.

Eltville City Wall and Round Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

Absolutely worth seeing, because the Mumm family wrote wine history. Before the First World War, the Mumm family lived in Alsace, which was still German at the time. There they developed the famous sparkling wine called champagne.
After the First World War, the family was expelled and expropriated.
To this day there is a French champagne called Mumm.
Germany was forced to call sparkling wine (bottle aging) only Sekt and not Champagne.
The Mumm family moved to the Rheingau at that time.

Nikolausquelle Eltville

Highlight • Natural Monument

The square was probably named after the former patron saint of Eltville. Before the Eltville swimming pool was built, the "Nikeloosbrünnche" was a meeting place for Eltville's youth, who met here on the surrounding meadows in summer when swimming in the Rhine was still allowed.

St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children, but he is also the patron saint of pilgrims and travelers as well as many professional groups, including sailors, inland waterway sailors and coopers.

A rotating lounger and seating on a plateau by the tree invite you to linger. A play area for children was designed with a large fish and a running rope. A stele points to the project of the RheinMain Regional Park.

St. Mark's Catholic Church, Erbach

Highlight • Religious Site

There has been evidence of a chapel in Erbach with its own baptismal and burial rights since 1060/1072, which belonged to the Eltville parish until 1250. Then Erbach became an independent parish and the chapel became a parish church. Markus has been their patron saint since 1258. Indulgence documents from 1281, 1304 and 1324 indicate a structural extension of the original chapel, which was converted into a hall church.

The conversion into a three-aisled, low hall church three bays long with a small choir took place between 1477 and 1506. The construction apparently began with the west tower, in the basement of which the year 1477 can be found, while the third bay of the south aisle has the year 1506 having.
