Kirschroth lies in a side valley of the Nahe, about 30 kilometers southwest of Bad Kreuznach. Around 300 inhabitants live in the municipality, where viticulture still plays an important role today. After all, there are still seven winemakers in the village. The Protestant church houses a small treasure - an ancient baptismal font. Pastor Christian Schucht was initially not clear how valuable the font is. SWR Open image in detail view Countrywomen Every year a beautiful ritual - The countrywomen meet to tie advent wreaths.

Exactly 175 years ago, the house of worship was built – and this also applies to individual houses in Kirchstraße. A street that stands for conviviality, small treasures, and the odd surprise.
