The architect of the new building was Johann Georg Hotter. In 1787, an organ with 25 registers was ordered from Johann Georg Geib.

The "Bellheimer Lord" is located on the Bellheimer Lordpatz (Hauptstraße 8). The "Bellheimer Lord" is a symbolic figure for the community of Bellheim, for the Bellheimer clubs and for the Bellheimer brewery. The name of the "Bellheimer Lord" goes back to the beer of the same name that has been brewed here for decades under the name Bellheimer Lord-Pils. The "Lord" stands for the cohesion and community in the community of Bellheim, for the sense of belonging and the unity of the local clubs and for the tradition of brewing in Bellheim. The "Bellheimer Lord" is chosen every year on the second weekend in October at the start of the Kerwe and presented to the population in a ceremonial ceremony. The symbols of the "Bellheim Lord" The top hat -> as a symbol of the noble barley juice The monocle -> it stands for a clear view, a watchful eye to recognize what is to the credit of Bellheim. The white gloves -> for the necessary tact for the good of the community The tailcoat -> symbol for the ambassador of our community The bow tie -> as a commitment to elegance and dignity The silver nail -> from the coat of arms of the Silbernagel family The outfit of the "Bellheim Lord" The clothing of a Lord is easy to determine: black tailcoat, black tailcoat trousers, black tailcoat vest, black top hat, black shoes, white tailcoat shirt (parricide), white gloves and to top it all off, the black bow tie. A monocle is also a must. How the LORD came to Bellheim Bellheim has always been one of the largest communities in the Palatinate. In his book "THE PALATINATE AND THE PALATINATE", August Becker described it as one of the "most beautiful and richest villages in the country". According to the words of his most famous son, the dialect and local poet August Heinrich, known as "Bellemer Heiner", Bellheim is "de Nawwel vun de Erd" (the navel of the earth). This judgment is certainly exaggerated, but it was at least the result of the poetic and pictorial imagination of a widely travelled native of the Palatinate, for whom Bellheim seemed to be the centre of his life, and many Bellheimers are still prepared to sign this statement without any ifs or buts. Even today, the mix of living, life and work is just right here. The people of Bellheim and their guests know how to enjoy life! So why shouldn't the people of Bellheim themselves ennoble their home community? This was the question posed by the municipality of Bellheim, the Bellheim clubs and the Bellheim brewery. And what could be more obvious than to use the symbol that has been the trademark of one of the best beers in the republic for decades. Bellheim beer has shaped the people of the region, their cheerful character, their hospitality and cosiness. This beer, which combines culture and nature in such a unique way, has been brewed in the heart of the southern Palatinate for over 140 years. This is one of the reasons why it has had such a significant influence on the lifestyle of the people of Bellheim. The Bellheim LORD, the premium class from the brewing kettles of the Bellheim brewers, sums up this attitude to life. The Bellheim LORD has therefore become the living trademark of our feel-good community! Every year in Bellheim, a new LORD is elevated to the nobility at the traditional Kerwe kick-off in October. It symbolizes Bellheim as a friendly figurehead to the outside world and creates identity within. (Excerpt from bellheimer-lord.de)
