Since 1381, Jews have been documented as residing in Wörrstadt, as at that time a "Jewish gate" was mentioned for the first time. The designation refers to a gate on the access or exit road of the fortifications. There were also the "Jewish gardens," which were vegetable gardens located outside the village (today to the left and right of Talstraße). Around 1800, there was already a Jewish burial site located on "Kehlberg" (now Eichenring), but it was no longer in use by 1870/1873. Eight gravestones can still be seen in this…

The community scales were previously used, particularly in agriculture, to weigh local products or livestock. A second scale near the train station was also used for goods that were delivered by rail (e.g. coal or fertilizer). Weights ranging from 500 kilos to 15 tons were displayed. The scale was in operation until the end of the 20th century.
A church in Monsheim was first mentioned in 1496 - a fortified church in the Romanesque style. The bell tower with its three bells dates back to 1878. In 1904/05, the form that can be seen today was created by adding the vestibule on the north side and creating a choir room. A modernisation phase from 1965-74 gave the church interior a rather cool objectivity. The interior renovation carried out in 2000 gave the church back its Art Nouveau paintings and thus its special touch. Text taken from Rundgang Monsheim with kind permission.Former…
Behind the portal made of red sandstone, a modern glass entrance opens up access to a richly appointed Rococo interior. The Augustinian hermits, a mendicant order established in Mainz since 1260, maintained their monastery on Augustinerstraße until the year 1802.

The extraordinary wealth of the church's furnishings is thanks to the generous support of patrons. The elector…
