Through the door behind the altar of the imposing transverse hall from 1775, you enter the medieval tower, the chancel of the previous building. From there you can enter the pulpit via a modern staircase through the former east window. On the walls and especially in the deep reveals of the three windows of the tower, high-quality wall paintings from around 1420 have been preserved. Among them are scenes of the Passion and Resurrection: Christ on the Mount of Olives, Ignoring Christ and Noli metangere. The eastern side shows the Last Judgment…
Above the village, the "Rondell" – a natural monument – offers a resting place for hikers and cyclists. The Rheinhessian Jakob Pilgrimage Trail, which is also suitable for cyclists in this area, leads directly past the new Vendersheim Tower. From here, you have a wonderful view over the Rheinhessian landscape and its vineyards all the way to the Donnersberg and, in good weather, to the skyline of Frankfurt. At the large winemaker's table next to the tower, even large groups can comfortably take a break together at one table.
A church in Monsheim was first mentioned in 1496 - a fortified church in the Romanesque style. The bell tower with its three bells dates back to 1878. In 1904/05, the form that can be seen today was created by adding the vestibule on the north side and creating a choir room. A modernisation phase from 1965-74 gave the church interior a rather cool objectivity. The interior renovation carried out in 2000 gave the church back its Art Nouveau paintings and thus its special touch. Text taken from Rundgang Monsheim with kind permission.Former…
The ‘Elsa Schmitt Tower’ observation tower is located on the northern outskirts of the Rhine-Hessian wine-growing community of Wendelsheim.

The individual graduation towers are between 70 and 350 metres long and 9 metres high, embedded in a rocky valley, where thermal healing water trickles down from the 500-metre-deep spring and a fresh sea breeze blows with an evaporation area of 16,000 square metres in the Salinental valley. From 1732 - 1998 salt for baths and foods was produced with the help of these salt waterfalls.
The Stadecker Warte was built in 1930 to stir pest control broth. Later it was extended and served as an observation post from which detonations were triggered by a firing range to drive away the flocks of starlings that had invaded the vineyards.
This trullo belongs to the Beyer-Bähr winery and was newly built. The trullo was given its name because the daughter of the winegrower re-embodied the figure of Frl. v. Flersheim for the first time. "A beautiful lady knight and a simple shepherd. She is from the von Flersheim family, a widely branched noble family to which the name of the district of Flörsheim as well as the 16th century residential tower there goes back. And he....? It is not known where its origins lay. So it is hardly surprising that this love story ended…
Here once stood the Catholic school building, which was built in 1857. Already in 1850, the Catholic priest of Heidesheim, Heinrich Berthes, had promised the church fund the donation of this property. It was to serve as housing for clergy, accommodation for the organist and the bell ringer, as well as a classroom for the Catholic confessional school. Until the introduction of communal schools, the Catholic teacher Josef Becker from Heidesheim lived and taught here. Afterwards, the house was rented out and finally auctioned off in 1896 to…
