It's as close as I get to the church these days.

Besides ".....von Bingen" means ".....from Bingen".
Bingen's a nice town, right where the Nahe River runs into the Rhine, smack in the middle of wine country. My son lived about 20 miles upriver in Wiesbaden for a couple years.

If you already knew then why did you ask?

The preposition "von" could also mean that she was of Bingen royalty, which might be different from the city. In her times she could have lived and died in what is now Frankfurt but have been Von Bingen then and reduced to von Bingen now.

Versteh?
