Ingelheim (German pronunciation: [ˈɪŋəlhaɪm] ⓘ), officially Ingelheim am Rhein (German pronunciation: [ˈɪŋəlhaɪm ʔam ˈʁaɪn], lit. 'Ingelheim on the Rhine'), is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in the Rhineland-Palatinate state of Germany and also the seat of the Mainz-Bingen district. The town sprawls along the Rhine's left bank. It has been Mainz-Bingen's district seat since 1996.
From the later half of the 8th century, the Ingelheim Imperial Palace, which served emperors and kings as a lodging and a ruling seat until the 11th century, was to be found here.
