Stuben Monastery Ruins, Bremm, Germany

Opposite Bremm on a peninsula is the former Stuben Monastery with its impressive church ruins. The complex was founded at the beginning of the 12th century by the Augustinian nuns of the Springiersbach Abbey.

Today, only the outer walls remain, except for the west wall. The monastery is mainly used for open-air events in summer. The view of the ruins from Calmont is particularly impressive.

Nice ruins. Was here in December/January 2021/2022 and it was closed (can't go inside the ruins) so don't know if it's open normally or not but it looks nice and the path to go there is either doable by car, foot or bike. Last 200m or so is a dirt road so not advisable by car or city bike (mountain bike would be fine I think). Would definitely go there after hiking the Calmont route or visiting Bremm/Eller.

The ruin itself does not provide a lot. Just by being there it adds to the greatness of the big Mosel bend

It is bit difficult to enter the monastery, as there is an iron fence in the gates. It is possible for moderately athletic people to climb over the fence. In the summer, lizards can be spotted in large numbers behind the main ruins. Nice for a walk.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
