The name Elefantenhöfe refers to a time when houses had names instead of house numbers. In 1703, the main house on the site was given the name "Zum Elephant", which can still be seen today on the historic portal with its inscription "Alhier zum Elephant bin ich genandt". For more than 200 years, the traditional wine trading house "P.J. Valckenberg" was located on this site. Today, a bar, a coffee roastery, an ice cream parlour and a vinotheque enliven the Elefantenhöfe. They are also a versatile venue for weddings and events of all kinds as well as a creative space for Worms' cultural scene. In summer, the inner courtyard is a hotspot for chilled evenings with a cool glass of wine or a fancy cocktail. The Elefantenhöfe project continues to develop and will be an enrichment for the city centre in the years to come.
