Eibingen
49°59′10″N 7°55′52″E / 49.986°N 7.931°E Eibingen, now a part of
Benedictine monastery founded by Hildegard of Bingen
in 1165 (replacing an Augustine foundation of 1148).
Eibingen preserves the treasure of relics assembled by Hildegard, including the heads of
Rupert of Bingen
and Hildegard's own remains.
Eibingen was a self-governing community until 1939, when under the secrecy that held sway at the time, it was forcibly amalgamated with the
National Socialists
, against the community inhabitants' will.
