The medieval Liebfrauenkirche is surrounded by vineyards. It was built in the Gothic style from 1276 and was completed in 1465 according to the building inscription. Originally, it served as a collegiate church, in whose construction the citizens of Worms took a lively interest. It is the only one of the many Gothic churches in Worms that have been preserved. The surrounding vineyards and their wine, the "Liebfrauenmilch", received their name from the church. The original "Liebfrauenmilch" is still cultivated in the area around the church…
The medieval cemetery "Judensand" on Mombacher Straße is largely preserved. Time and again, expulsions of the Jewish community led to clearances and alterations, causing many gravestones to be lost. Since the 1860s, significant gravestones of Jewish origin have repeatedly surfaced during construction work in Mainz. In 1926, Rabbis Levi and Salfeld united prominent gravestones to create a memorial cemetery, in order to make the Jewish heritage visible and emphasize the community's location in Magenza and Germany. The oldest preserved…
In memory of the last "Ausscheller" in the municipality, a sculpture was erected in 2011, which is supposed to represent the former municipal servant and Ausscheller for public announcements - Mr. Karl Ritzinger. The work of art was made of black sheet metal by Gerd Vollmer and depicts the former parish clerk with the bell raised and the official announcements that he read out at various points in the parish.
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).
The town hall building was constructed in 1851/52. The roof turret contained the fire bell, which warned of fire danger. On the ground floor were the equipment for extinguishing fires. The entrance to the pump room was located on the west side. Previously, on the site of the town hall stood the Schöffenhaus, which was already mentioned in 1394 as a notable two-story building with an attached bakery. For the year 1508, a blacksmith shop, leaning to the north, is also documented. The community blacksmith with stables was abandoned in the…
The Sironabad in Nierstein was a former Roman bathhouse with two sulfur springs and two freshwater springs. The springs led to early settlements, as finds from Celtic, early Germanic, and Roman times clearly prove. The sulfur spring of the Sironabad was rediscovered in 1802 after being buried for centuries. During cleanup work, copper coins dated 87 to 267 AD and small figurines were found in stone basins surrounded by plaster balls. These finds prove beyond doubt that the fountain was in operation during this period and was used by the…
