St. Rochus’ Chapel near Bingen tic generations until the end of the 18th century. After the secularization, the convent site went into private hands and the destruction of the ruins continued. When in 1857 the rock on which the remainders of the towers and choir were to be found, was blown up for the construction of the Nahe-Valley-Railway, the last visible traces of the convent buildings disappeared. The grave-crypt underneath the choir – as far as still existing – fell also victim to this blowing up. Only parts of the Romanesque architecture of the church were preserved by including them into the residential buildings like the five arcades, still to be seen today in the Wirth-house. Again and again, the sources report of the new or re-construction of the cellars. Which parts of them still existed in the 12th century can only be found – if possible at all – by thorough investigation. The underground vaults, well cared for and made accessible to the public by Mr. Würth, are breathing the spirit of the long and eventful history of this authentic place of the life of St. Hildegard of Bingen.

To furnish the Chapel of St. Rochus, which had been destroyed in 1795 and reconstructed in 1814, the confraternity of St. Rochus bought the entire inside furnishing of the Eibingen convent church. In addition they received the treasure of relics, above all the mortal remains of St. Rupertus, the former patron saint of the Rupertsberg. Thus the Rochus Chapel became the home of the probably most authentic traces of the Hildegard era and the whole monastic tradition on the Rupertsberg and in Eibingen. By furnishing the Rochus Chapel with the altars and pictures of the Eibingen convent church, it became a Hildegard memorial church in the 19th century. When in 1889 the Chapel burnt down, nearly all of Hildegard’s traces 22
