The itinerant preacher.

The itinerant preacher Heimerad worked on this mountain in the last years of his life. After his death in 1019 AD, a chapel was built over his grave in 1021 by order of Archbishop Aribo of Mainz. Many years later, in 1074, Archbishop Siegfried I of Mainz endowed a canonry, which was converted into a Benedictine monastery in 1081. Many years later, the monastery was also burnt down once, but rebuilt. In 1527, the monastery was abolished in the course of the Reformation. That's it.
