„History reminds us,” writes Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a newspaper article on the occasion of the 'Day of Democratic History' (first celebrated in Germany on March 18, 2026), „how valuable freedom and democracy, human dignity and social justice are – and how laboriously and UNDER WHAT SACRIFICES THEY WERE ONCE WON. But the past also shows what people can achieve with their commitment, what walls they can tear down, and on what fragile foundations authoritarian regimes sometimes stand.”

Bacharach became Protestant in 1545 because its Palatinate authorities converted to the Reformation. This ended 150 years of profitable pilgrimages to the invented "Saint" Werner. In 1997, the memorial plaque at the ruin of the Bacharach Werner Chapel provided exemplary enlightenment. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1018567 Oberwesel was under the authority of the Archbishopric of Trier and remained Catholic to this day. It took over the pilgrimage business with its own Werner Chapel. When in 1963 the Archbishopric finally struck the false saint from the list of feast days, Oberwesel stubbornly resisted. Only reluctantly was the chapel rededicated to the Franciscan Mother Rosa.

The Oberwesel town hall, a protected monument, was built between 1847 and 1850 in the style of a fortified castle. It is located in the Schaarernachbarschaft and today houses the municipal administration. After a fire in the previous building, an unplastered structure was created, which was redesigned in the Heimatstil (homeland style) between 1926 and 1927 and extended in 1979. https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-254960
