Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUDESHEIM , a town of Germany in the Prussian Rhine province on the right bank of the Rhine, 19 m. S.W. of
Wiesbaden by the main line from
Frankfort
 -on-Main to Cologne. Pop. (1905) 4773. Its situation, at the lower end of the famous vineyard
district
  of the Rheingau, opposite Bingen and just above the romantic gorge of the Rhine, renders it a popular tourist centre. Behind the town rises the majestic Niederwald (985 ft.), on the
crest
  of which stands the national
monument
 , " Germania," commemorating the war of 1870-71. Rtidesheim has some interesting towers. The Bromserburg, or Niederburg, a massive structure built in the 13th
century
 , formerly belonging to the archbishops of Mainz; the Boosenburg, or Oberburg, which was rebuilt in 1868, with the exception of the keep; the Adlerturm, a relic of the fortifications of the town; and the Vorderburg, the remains of an old castle. The
Gothic
 
church
  of St James has some interesting paintings and monuments, and there is also a
Protestant
 
church
 . The town has
electrical
  works, but its
industries
  are mainly concerned with the preparation of wine, the best kinds being Rudesheimer Berg, Hinterhaus and Rottland.
