Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Die Pfarrkirche Heilig Kreuz wird auch Rheingauer Dom genannt, obwohl sie niemals Bischofssitz war. ABer ihre Größe und die Bedeutung in der Region Rheingau haben ihr diesen Namen verliehen.

The church and the story of Elizabeth sound like a fairytale. The church is a beautiful building with an amazing part with graves of famous royals. The golden shrine of Elizabeth is a masterpiece in gold. At the exit of the church you will find the graves of mr and mrs Paul von Hindenburg the former president of Germany before WWII.

This tiny church is a real treasure. Inside there are beautiful icons and all the internal environment is full of art and you feel the religion of those people who come to pray in it. I strongly recommend a visit. The surrounding is really enjoyable and the visit will elevate your soul.
