The builders who had previously worked under Jacob von Landshut in Herrnsheim constructed the new, uniform church building in Bechtolsheim between 1482 and 1492. The building, which appears compact from the outside with its high gabled roof and separate bell tower, offers an overwhelming impression of space inside with its wide, light-filled hall. The choir and nave are the same height inside and are spanned by a vault with a seemingly endless pattern. The creation of this outstanding building is probably thanks to Philipp Kämmerer von…

The Julianenbrunnen, popularly known as the Giljebrunne, is a 400-year-old fountain in the center of the Guntersblum Kellerweg, which is famous for its great wine festival.

At this time, the fountain was renovated and the year was carved slightly…

The church was built in 1712 in place of the destroyed Michaeliskapelle and later remodeled and expanded with neo-Gothic forms. Beneath the nave is a vaulted medieval ossuary. Due to the limited space of the cemetery, the bones that were excavated during reburials were collected and stored there. It was already mentioned in 1496. Later, it was abandoned and fell into oblivion. It was only rediscovered in 1981 during construction work. History / Stories / Anecdotes: The ossuary was discovered on October 3, 1981, during construction work in…

The former Frei-Weinheim marketplace was only built in the 18th century. Between 1700 and 1772, the weekly fruit market took place here on Tuesdays. Nikolaus Schaurer and his descendants operated a thriving wood trade here from the 19th century onwards. His father had already been the lessee of the Electoral Palatine wood yard.

Wood was the most important…
