The nine-tube fountain, built in 1608, is one of the most beautiful village fountains in Rheinhessen and is the landmark of Wörrstadt. The structure of the fountain is crowned by a group of two upright lions holding the grill of Saint Lawrence in their front paws. These animals are the heraldic symbols of the Rheingrafen. Water flows from nine tubes into a fountain chamber. From here, the Mühlbach is fed. Not only can the nine water-spouting tubes of the fountain be used for much-needed cooling, but the outdoor gastronomy can also…
According to historical maps, this round and two storey fortified tower with a pointed stone cone shaped roof was to the south-east of the old defences. The former eastward section of the wall led, across the later Neuweg, towards the Uffhubtor. The tower dates from the first half of the 15th century. This style of tower is most frequent in Ober-Ingelheim. In the 19th century they were often transformed to condominiums.
The 2.5 m high menhir likely dates from the Neolithic period (approx. 400 to 1700 BC). The menhir was discovered in 1927 during clearing work on the southeast slope of a rise near Dittelsheim-Heßloch at a depth of 80 cm and was re-erected 100 m away. It had probably been buried here in the late Middle Ages, but its name had persisted as a place name. Whether it originally served as a boundary stone, like many other menhirs, is unclear. It has a height of 210 cm, a width of 145 cm, and a depth of 80 cm.

The soil profile is part of the Gau-Algesheim geoecological adventure trail. A soil outcrop and an information panel provide information about the formation of the Mainz Basin's calcareous tertiary.
Even today, the Neustadt owes its architectural and urban face to the city master builder Eduard Kreyßig (1830-1897), despite being heavily affected by the destruction of World War II. Many of the Gründerzeit residential buildings with partly magnificent facades, as well as the prominently visible Christ Church, are still preserved. In particular, in recent years, it has been possible to carefully renovate the Neustadt. Modern architects and artists have contributed to the appearance of the Neustadt with their buildings and…
The rectangular hall building is medieval at its core and was rebuilt in 1616. The west tower of today's Protestant parish church dates back to 1914.
The building that is now used as an evangelical community center is an example of the traditional regional stone masonry. It was built in 1828 as an evangelical school with a teacher's apartment, stable, and barn, after the old building at School Street 6 was no longer sufficient. In 1827, the Grand Ducal Hesse government introduced compulsory education for girls and boys from the age of six to fourteen. Until 1842, children in rural areas only attended school from November to Easter. During the warm seasons, they helped with agricultural…
