[DE] "Zart und filigran wirkt die Ruine der hochgotischen Kirche, die oberhalb der Stadt in den Weinbergen steht. Mit dem Bau wurde kurz nach 1287 begonnen. Anlass dazu gab die Ermordung eines Knaben Werner. Der Tod wurde ohne jeden Beweis der Judengemeinde von Oberwesel angelastet. Bei Unruhen starben damals vierzig Menschen. Aufgrund dieses Pogroms wurde eine diesem Werner geweihte Kapelle errichtet. Gleichzeitig setzten damals Wallfahrten zum Grabe des beigesetzten Werner ein. Die Kapelle ist ein Symbol der Rheinromantik.
Öffnungszeiten: Besichtigungen täglich möglich"
[EN] "The ruins of the High Gothic church, which stands in the vineyards above the town, are delicate and filigree. Construction began shortly after 1287. The reason for this was the murder of a boy Werner. Death was charged without any evidence from the Jewish community of Oberwesel. Forty people died in the riots. Because of this pogrom a chapel dedicated to Werner was built. At the same time, pilgrimages to Werner's grave began. The chapel is a symbol of Rhine Romanticism.
