Archaeology at the church of St Remigius: Two films
The medieval tower of St Remigius’ Church contains one of the most important finds in the history of the Kaiserpfalz in recent years: the well-preserved remains of a baptismal font from the 6th/7th century. In the 11th century, this site was also used as a cemete ground.
The Kaiserpfalz Research Centre has produced two short films on this subject in collaboration with medieval archaeologist Sebastian Ristow, who specialises in Christianisation.
The films explain the archaeological findings in a particularly vivid way: reconstruction views show what the church and the baptistery may have originally looked like around 1400 years ago. Information on full-body baptism, which was customary at the time, is also illustrated.
Both films can also be downloaded from the information boards at St Remigius Church using QR codes.
Digital short tours: Empresses in Ingelheim
In six short videos, historian Miriam Maslowksi presents five empresses of the Middle Ages, each of whom played an important role in the history of Ingelheim: Adelheid of Burgundy (931/32-999), Theophanu (960-991), Kunigunde of Luxembourg (980-1033), Gisela of Swabia (989/90-1043) and Agnes of Poitou (1019/30-1077) – they were all „Empresses in Ingelheim – consorts in the empire as well as in the marriage bed“.
