Public tour: Waterways - Wackernheim's blue gold

Why did Wackernheim have an important position within the free imperial villages in the early Middle Ages?

It was the abundance of water and a remarkable construction achievement in the 8th century. The underground aqueduct of the Carolingians transported water over 7 km from the Karl spring in Heidesheim, right through the village in Wackernheim, to the Palatinate of Charlemagne in Ingelheim.

But it was not only the aqueduct that was the location advantage of earlier centuries. The water from numerous springs and wells enabled the residents to make a living. 5 mills along the waterways were important meeting points. Our little hike follows the path of water, be surprised by stories about wells, springs, and mills.
