Dorfplatz im Ortsteil Kriegsheim

The town hall of the Kriegsheim municipality stood on this site. It was demolished in 1986.

Kriegsheim was an independent municipality until 1969, when it was incorporated into the municipality of Monsheim.

It is the only surviving organ by the famous organ builder and was lovingly renovated in 1993 by the company Förster und Niclaus.
