The south-eastern wall tower of the Flörsheim-Dalsheim Fleckenmauer is the simplest wall tower.
The facade is structured by pointed arch blind frame windows arranged evenly. Above the gate opening, there are two large niches on the city side, containing paired pointed arch windows and reliefs in the spandrels: to the left, the busts of a king, and to the right, a pair of patricians with a hairband. Comparable stone half-figures of bourgeois couples from the 14th century, originally from the war-destroyed house "Zum Molsberg," are now preserved in the state museum.

The town hall of the Kriegsheim municipality stood on this site. It was demolished in 1986. Afterwards, the "village square" was created, which is often used as a meeting place and experiences an annual highlight with the Kriegsheimer Kerwe and the "Kerweredd" held there. Kriegsheim was an independent municipality until 1969, when it was incorporated into the municipality of Monsheim. Since the administrative reform of 1972, the community has belonged to the municipality of Monsheim. Text taken from Rundgang Kriegsheim with kind permission.
