The town hall in Bodenheim is a typical example of the Franconian-Hessian half-timbered construction style of the Renaissance around 1600 and is considered one of the most beautiful half-timbered houses in Rheinhessen. The renovation was completed in 2023; it now shines in new splendour in the old town centre of the wine-growing community of Bodenheim. It was built in 1608 under the then lord of the village, Provost Anton Walpot von Bassenheim, as a new courthouse for the Mainz Knights' Abbey of St Alban. In the bay window, we recognise the…
Here you see a section of an early medieval long-distance water pipeline. It was found in 2004 in close proximity. Scientifically, it has been dated to the construction period of the Imperial Palace, namely the late 8th century AD. The long-distance water pipeline supplied high-quality drinking water from the spring area "Karlsquelle" near Heidesheim through the Wackernheimer Valley to Nieder-Ingelheim, into the palace of Charlemagne. This was achieved through a 6.8 km long canal, which mostly ran underground. The structure, built from…
The church is elevated and was once surrounded by a defensive wall and a ring of elm trees (Effenring), as is often the case in Rheinhessen. The stocky small choir in the tower and the sacristy attached to the east were provided with a net vault in 1494, according to a record of a console stone of the sacristy. In the reveal of the eastern window of the choir, a well-preserved late Gothic mural painting (St. Cyriacus or Laurentius and St. Erasmus) can be admired.

The clock tower, which is under monumental protection, is the landmark of the municipality Neu-Bamberg. Once it belonged to the 3 gates of the town fortification. The village owes its origin to the Neue Baumburg (Novo Boinburc), which was founded by the Raugrafen in 1253 and whose ruins still characterise the townscape today. Restored half-timbered houses, farms, gardens and the old water house give the village centre on the castle hill its unique charm.
