In the mid-4th century, the city wall that had existed until then, originally dating back to the 3rd century, was renovated. The wall was significantly shortened, so that the Roman theater, the abandoned legionary camp, and other central parts of the city were located outside. In the renovation, old building stones (spolia) from the barracks were reused. The sandstone paving of the camp road, which led to the former porta praetoria , remained in use. To allow the use of this important road, the city wall was interrupted at this point by a…

The Bornheim lookout tower is located in the middle of the sea of vines and offers a wide view over Rhine-Hessian Switzerland. This is also the location of the "Hiwwelrast", a wine tasting stand run by the surrounding winegrowers.
Also worth seeing is the Wamboldscher Hof, a stately home in the middle of the village, built around 1770 in the Baroque style. The wide gateway with pilasters and the mansard roof are particularly striking. After the French Revolution, this stately building served as a schoolhouse until 1963 and is now the parsonage of the Protestant parish of Partenheim. Visits: By prior arrangement
