In 1891, mill owner Gustav Weißheimer (1831–1904) built his "Gustavsburg", which is today known by the designation of the vineyard site as "Leckzapfen" and was built as a miniature castle in the style of Liechtenstein Castle on the Swabian Jura.

May 4, 2024,Rheinhessen 🍇 - "Weinbergwanderung und Besuch KZ - Osthofen"

In Osthofen, in an old disused paper factory, the only early concentration camp for the then People's State of Hesse was located from March 1933 to July 1934.
No prisoners were murdered here, but they were humiliated and mistreated in the worst possible way.
The permanent exhibition on the subject of "Persecution and Resistance from 1933-1945" is very interesting.

May 13, 2026,Miniaturburgenweg Osthofen

This time I took on the Neuen Miniaturburgenweg in Osthofen. I parked in Osthofen at the train station. A better starting point, however, is the parking lot up at the Bergkirche. Unfortunately, not all castles are accessible. I also would have wished for more information boards at the miniature castles themselves. The best and most beautiful place for a break …
