The clock tower in Oppenheim was built in 1843/44 on the remains of a former defensive tower of the medieval town fortifications in the neo-Gothic style. The tower is around 31 meters high and houses a viewing platform, among other things. The tower clock from 1907, which is still in working order, chimes the half and full hours. The building is maintained by the Friends of the Clock Tower in Oppenheim am Rhein and is a listed building. Further information can be found at www.uhrturm-oppenheim.de .

Today, the house is a two-storey residential building and is considered the oldest house in the district of Dalsheim. Probably after the destruction in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689, the building was renovated in 1716 according to the date above the door. The foundations, cellar and window jambs indicate that the building was originally built about 150 years earlier, in the 16th century. The upper storey is adorned all around with Franconian half-timbering, which was put back under plaster on the street side during the last…
For centuries there has been a large country estate just outside the medieval town wall of Bad Kreuznach - today it is a romantic tree garden, which was created in the 19th century as a landscape park. The pond in the park dates back to the 18th century, when a moated castle stood here. Over the years, however, the park was repeatedly redesigned by its changing owners. Today, the Schlosspark Museum is located in the middle of the park, which together with the pond forms an aesthetic unit that in itself is worth visiting.
The Cultural Forum Partenheim was founded in 2002 at the initiative of Werner Repovs. The association aims to organize events with historical and contemporary connections to Partenheim.

The Catholic parish church of St. Walburga was built in 1740. The Baroque hall church with a choir enclosed on three sides was formerly used as a simultaneous church. On the gallery of the parish church, you will discover a real treasure: the single-manual, eleven-stop organ built in 1763 by Joseph Anton Onimus. It is the only surviving organ by the famous organ builder and was lovingly renovated in 1993 by the company Förster und Niclaus.
The church, built in 1863, is a simple rubble stone structure with a rectangular floor plan oriented east-west. The entrance in the east leads through a park-like forecourt with linden trees, where the congregation annually celebrates the "Kirchgartenfest – Unter den Linden." The slate-covered gable roof is equipped with small dormers on both sides. The side walls are characterized by four colorful stained glass windows each, extending over two floors. One enters the interior via a few steps, where the centerpiece is the organ from…
