Along almost the whole length, the defensive wall, which runs parallel to Burgunderstraße, is still preserved, though on different heights. It follows the course of the defence moat, which was filled in last century, and runs in a straight line towards the west to the Stiegelgässer Tor. At about halfway this tower with a pointed roof, attached to a house, could be preserved.
The church contains Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque elements. The flat-roofed choir was built in the mid-15th century and decorated with extensive wall paintings. On the left wall, there is a large painting of the Virgin Mary with her cloak spread out protectively. Saints are depicted between the four tracery windows. The base floor is decorated with a painted vine carpet, and the figures are crowned with rich faux architecture. Source: Liebfrauenland - Gothic in Rheinhessen

On the outskirts of Kriegsheim, the dominant property of the Wiesenmühle farmstead rises with its prominent tower. The main building dates back to the 17th century and, together with the 3 large outbuildings, forms a closed, rectangular courtyard, which was acquired in 1816 by the Kriegsheim Mennonite Johann Mundorf. Since the transfer of ownership to the Schilling family in 1899, the main focus has been on arable farming. Viticulture is also a mainstay of the farm's agriculture. The mill itself is no longer in operation. In the "Old…
The 2.5 m high menhir likely dates from the Neolithic period (approx. 400 to 1700 BC). The menhir was discovered in 1927 during clearing work on the southeast slope of a rise near Dittelsheim-Heßloch at a depth of 80 cm and was re-erected 100 m away. It had probably been buried here in the late Middle Ages, but its name had persisted as a place name. Whether it originally served as a boundary stone, like many other menhirs, is unclear. It has a height of 210 cm, a width of 145 cm, and a depth of 80 cm.

A Baroque hall structure with a hip roof, built from 1747 to 1751, extension of the community center, the south forecourt, and the new sacristy in 1970/71. Until the early 1970s, the former Catholic school was located nearby. The origins of the Church of Walburga, which stood on the Selz south of the current town center, can be dated back to the late 9th century based on the patronage documented since 1328. The first mention as "capella," initially probably a branch of Engelstadt, under the patronage of the Mainz St. Mauritius Foundation, is…
