The Protestant church in Dexheim looks back on an eventful history: Dexheim's St. Martin's Church was first mentioned in documents in 889; it was first referred to as “St. Martin's Parish Church” in 1341. During the Thirty Years' War and the subsequent War of the Palatinate Succession, it was almost completely destroyed, with only the church tower remaining intact. The church was gradually rebuilt. Major renovations took place in 1957 and 1958.
The Kirschbühl Hollow To describe the formation of a hollow way, one cannot avoid taking a look at the loess. The loess that was blown to us during the last Ice Age consists of 20% lime and remains stable in its angular shape at the cliff edges and in the hollow ways. By driving vehicles on the hollow ways, in earlier years with carts and livestock, the loess is loosened and turns to dust. During heavy rain, the loose soil is washed away, leading to ever-deepening paths - a hollow way is created. Today, many hollow ways are paved to…
From 1887 to 1888, the tower designed by architects Anton Louis and Johann Doll was built. Originally, it was to be a wooden tower, which was planned to be constructed on the western part of the Rochusberg, the so-called Scharlachkopf. However, the funding was initially lacking. After the death of longtime Bingen mayor Eberhard Soherr, the idea could be realized. He had stipulated in his will that 10,000 marks should be spent on the construction of a solid tower made of basalt lava and sandstone. The name Kaiser-Friedrich-Turm goes back to…
On the fish market stands the heavy pressing stone (3820 kg), which was found after a fire in the opposing manor house of Baron von der Leyen-Uexküll. The weighing house serves as a reminder that here the grape carts and the "Wutz" were weighed.
The Oriental Heisje Here you can see a stout little house with a barrel roof, which was also commissioned by Unterfauth Hirschel in 1766. It consists of three walls, with the door opening facing south. The door frame is a special feature, as it hints at the shape of an onion tower.

The listed Bergkirche is located on the Goldberg above Osthofen. The church has a tumultuous history and has been expanded and rebuilt repeatedly. From the chapel and a neighboring estate, a castle complex developed towards the end of the first millennium, which was used by the Vogts for Osthofen. In 1241, this fortification was demolished at the request of the Worms citizens after a dispute between the city of Worms, supported by Bishop Landolf of Hoheneck, and the citizens of Osthofen; however, the church remained intact. During the Thirty…
