ST RUPERT AND ST HILDEGARD WITH THE
HILDEGARD CENTRE
Not far from the former abbey of St Hildegard on Rupertsberg in
Bingerbrück is the Catholic Hildegard Memorial Church. This church,
which was constructed at the end of the 19th century, is dedicated
to St Hildegard and St Rupert. In the style of the abbey church at St
Rupert’s abbey, the church was completed with Romanesque structures.
In the church is a small shrine with relics of St Hildegard and
St Rupert. The impressive windows in the church transept depict the
life and works of St Hildegard.
Since 2019 the church has been a Hildegard centre. The interior of
the church serves as a venue for concerts and cultural events. It is a
spiritual centre for pilgrims and people who are searching for peace
and quiet. One special feature is the church media system (Media-
Ki): on a touchscreen terminal, visitors can choose short devotions,
Psalms and songs. The choir room and side altars are also illuminated
appropriately in colour.
In the summer you can visit the church up to 6 pm. It lies on
the Hildegard of Bingen pilgrim trail (Idar-Oberstein to Bingen)
and on the Ausonius trail / Hunsrück trail (Trier to Bingen).
