Here once stood the Catholic school building, which was built in 1857. Already in 1850, the Catholic priest of Heidesheim, Heinrich Berthes, had promised the church fund the donation of this property. It was to serve as housing for clergy, accommodation for the organist and the bell ringer, as well as a classroom for the Catholic confessional school.

The parish church in Gabsheim is one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Rheinhessen. Its dominant position above the village makes it a striking landmark for the entire surrounding area.

The Protestant church in Köngernheim was first mentioned in 1299. It was renovated in 1526, as indicated by the engraved date. Until the 1930s, the church was used as a simultaneous church.

Shaped from fire and water: The Goose Rock Formation From the Salinental, one looks eastwards to a rock formation that looks like a huge slagheap. This was given its name in Celtic times: "Ganda", i.e. steep slope with rock debris. Elementary forces have shaped the goose. 280 million years ago, magma came to the surface from the earth's interior, solidified and formed a rock massif to which both Rotenfels and Rheingrafenstein belong. The Nahe - Celtic "Nawa" - carved its way into this rock and dug its way deeper and deeper into it. This is…
