Bingen am Rhein is a large town in the Mainz-Bingen district of Rhineland-Palatinate. The original name of the settlement was Bingium, a Celtic word for "hole in the rock", the name for the shallow area behind the mouse tower, known as Binger Hole. Bingen was the starting point for the Ausoniusstrasse, a Roman military road that connected the city with Trier. Bingen is also known for the story of the Binger Mouse Tower, in which the Archbishop of Mainz Hatto was supposedly eaten by mice. In 2008 Bingen hosted the third Rhineland-Palatinate State Horticultural Exhibition after Kaiserslautern and Trier.
