Saint Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) has been called seeress, composer, physician, German prophetess. In 2012, she was promoted as Doctor of the Universal Church (Doctor Ecclesiae Universalis) by Pope Benedict XVI; she was only the fourth woman to receive this honor besides Catarina of Siena, Teresa of Ávila and Thérèse of Lisieux. On September 9, 2017, the new Hildegard of Bingen Pilgrimage Route (Pilgerwanderweg) leading from Idar-Obersten to Bingen on the Rhine has been officially opened at the Disibodenberg, the very site where this mystic lived for almost 40 years of her life.
I speak for all of us, who have worked hard and with much enthusiasm on realizing this project, when I say now: Welcome for a visit in the land of Hildegard. Welcome for a Hildegard Pilgrimage! In Saint Hildegard’s words:
o quam mirabilis – how wondrously – how wonderful !
Annette Esser, Cologne & Bad Kreuznach, Spring 2020
The Hildegard Way
“Hildegardweg” was established with support from the European Union in 2013 and is a 140 km pilgrimage trail through the Nahe river region in Germany. The trail begins in Ida-Oberstein, leading past the monastery ruins of Disibodenburg and Hildegard’s Rupertsburg Abbey, concluding at the Abbey of Saint Hildegard in Einbingen.
The concept of these Hildegardweg tableaux was developed by Dr. Annette Esser and written up by a team of authors facilitated by the Scivias Institute, including sisters of St. Hildegard Abbey: of these, 27 meditation tableaux follow Hildegard’s major mystical work, the Liber Scivias, and 31 information tableaux present Hildegard‘s medical, musical and ethical works and on the historical sites where the saint lived. These tableaux are in German and English.
