At the time of the Reformation, Ensheim already had a parish church, which – despite several repairs and two renovations – is still in use today. The first major renovation took place in 1722, as the nave had become dilapidated and was no longer sufficient for the growing congregation. The main building was extended and renovated during this process. In 1830, another renovation followed, which was limited to the choir. In the following hundred years, the church underwent several renovations, particularly in the years 1875 and…
First mentioned in 1413 and thus the oldest mill in Monsheim. The mill was converted into an electricity plant in 1900. The first electric current in Monsheim was produced here.

Since about 1920, the mill has been owned by the Milch family, who successfully run a restaurant and wine-growing business here. Text taken from the Monsheim tour with kind…

Above the town of Nierstein, located to the north in the Red Slope, lies the Wart Tower – the landmark of the town and one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the region. From here, an impressive panorama of the vineyards and the Rhine Valley opens up, extending to the Donnersberg, the Hessian Bergstraße, into the Taunus, as well as to Wiesbaden, Mainz, and the Rhine-Main area. Its origin dates back to a medieval signal tower from the 12th century. The stones from the demolished Kings Chair between Nierstein and Lörzweiler…
A Baroque hall structure with a hip roof, built from 1747 to 1751, extension of the community center, the south forecourt, and the new sacristy in 1970/71. Until the early 1970s, the former Catholic school was located nearby.

The first mention as "capella," initially probably a branch of Engelstadt, under the patronage of the Mainz St. Mauritius Foundation, is…

Built near historic Rhine crossings such as the Roman bridge and the electoral prince's ship bridge, it continues a long tradition of cross-border connections. From early on, the bridge was more than just pure infrastructure: festivals and their symbolic…
