Katholische Kirche

Westhofen

Katholische Kirche

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…

Simultankirche

Gau-Odernheim

Simultankirche St. Rufus

Located below Petersberg, the town enjoyed the rights of a free imperial city in the Middle Ages. Its former importance is evidenced by the large church building, which replaced a predecessor of similar dimensions where the relics of Saint Rufus, Bishop of Metz, were venerated. Since 1705, the church has been divided into a Protestant section (nave) and a Catholic section (choir) by the closure of the choir arch. The two-nave, flat-roofed nave was built around 1420 under Johann von Diepach. Numerous 15th-century murals have been preserved in…

Wörrstädter Graben

Wörrstadt

Wörrstädter Graben

The village trench in Wörrstadt is a valuable heritage from the Middle Ages. First documented in the 13th century as “Zingele,” it is a worthy green lung in today’s urban area with its rich tree population. As a vegetated defensive structure, the trench enclosed the entire village area until the early 19th century. Until the 1980s, the trench was mostly planted with centuries-old elm trees, also called Effen. They all fell victim to the elm bark beetle and were replaced by other tree species. Since the spring of 2015,…

Old works and new ones created in Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg are then presented in an exhibition. The annual…

Windhäuser Hof

Stadecken-Elsheim

Windhäuser Hof

The expansive building complex located north of the village (district of Elsheim) includes the courtyard on the plateau edge with adjacent park and agricultural areas extending to the municipal boundary with Schwabenheim. The settlement, created amidst the associated arable land likely through deforestation in the 12th century, belonged to the "Ingelheimer Grund" and only appears in documents in 1307 ("wynthuß berge"). Early owners included, among others, the Monastery of Ingelheimerhausen (1328-1411).
