This is the reconstruction of the circular moat that must have stood here many millennia ago. On information boards you will find everything you need to know about the complex as well as information about the skeleton that was unearthed in the center of the complex.

In the area of Ippesheim, which is famous for its wine, one of the oldest circular moats in Europe was built around 7,000 years ago. It was probably a “place of worship” where - similar to Stonehenge - the natural spectacles of the stars could be observed, accompanied by festivals and certain rituals. The site was discovered in 1989 through aerial archeology photographs and excavation work took place here from 1998 to 2004. The remains of a female skeleton were discovered in the center of the complex, which was buried “upside down” in a pit. In 2021, a model of the “circular ditch system” on a scale of 1:4 and the original visual axes was built not far from where the system was originally located. You can find out a lot of interesting things about the “circular ditch system” on the information boards there. If you would like to know more about this, you will find it on the website www.weinbauverein-ippesheim.de/willkommen/de/index.htm.

Kneipp therapy is based on 5 pillars: water, exercise, nutrition, medicinal herbs and a balance between body and soul. Kneipp was not a natural healer for the rich. His advice is simple, can be implemented at home without great resources and effort, and is still sustainable. That is why they are so successful to this day, because they are suitable for everyone. With the water treatments, the pastor strengthens the body's self-healing powers. In addition, there is movement to give the body the necessary balance. When it comes to medicinal herbs, Kneipp trusts in the power of nature. He recommends unprocessed foods whenever possible. Mental balance, inner peace and the ability to relax are important therapy goals. In fact, in 1847 Kneipp was “on the edge of the grave” and, according to current knowledge, was suffering from tuberculosis. An old book about the healing powers of water became his lifesaver. He hiked to the Danube 2-3 times a week, dived into the cold water for 3-5 seconds and got well again. The pastor in Bad Wörishofen developed his five-pillar model based on his personal experiences.
