As early as 1450, a Zehntscheune is mentioned in Wackernheim. In…

Today's Dreikönigskirche (Church of the Three Kings) in Neugasse was not completed until 1935. Although the architecture of the building is very simple, its windows radiate impressive splendor. Particularly noteworthy is the large, three-part window in the south wall, which bathes the church in bright, radiant light on Sundays when the sun shines. Instead of a bell tower, the church has a ridge turret in which three bronze bells hang, which were cast in Heidelberg in 1959.
