Evangelical Church Asselheim (Elizabeth Church)
Highlight • Religious Site
possibly Asselheim Parish Church
The church is only open for services.
The St. Elisabeth Church was built around 1300. First as a chapel in honor of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia shortly after her canonization. In 1496 the chapel was raised to the status of a church. The former defense tower, part of the local fortifications, was converted into a church tower. During the Second World War the church was hit by bombs and burned down to the ground. The reconstruction took place in the years 1949/50.

Story:
Due to inheritance disputes between the Counts of Leiningen, the time around 1460 can be regarded as uncertain. It is assumed that the citizens of Asselheim preferred to visit the St. Elisabeth Chapel in the village than the parish church of St. Stephen far away in the field. In 1496 the St. Elisabeth chapel was raised to the status of a church, and the Wart or Roman tower was converted into a church tower. It consists largely of the rust-brown Capuchin stones found in the surrounding area. The first Protestant pastor held the first service in 1560. In 1841 the big bell burst, in 1864 this misfortune repeated itself. During the Second World War, the church was hit by incendiary bombs and burned down to the foundations.
The reconstruction took place in the years 1949/50. The ringing, renewed in 1951, can still be heard today. On Sunday, August 18, 1996, the citizens of Asselheim celebrated the 500th anniversary of their church and the elevation of the chapel to a church with a festive service.
The Gothic church key from the time it was built has been in the collection of the Grünstadt Museum since 1906.

Grape traffic circle - Asselheim/Grünstadt 🚴♂️
Highlight • Monument
Grape Roundabout – Asselheim/Grünstadt 🚴♂️
The Asselheim thoroughfare is circling again as we drive past...
The symbolic traffic roundabout is located on Weinstraße and points to the town's importance for winemaking. The first thing that catches the eye about this symbolic art is a large, wooden A. This is meant to symbolize the town of Asselheim itself. Hanging from this A is a metal grape, representing Asselheim as a wine-growing region. Only at second glance is it apparent that water is dripping over this grape. This process symbolizes how wine is made from the grapes. Red wine, in particular, is produced in large quantities in Asselheim, as the area around the town is often referred to as the Tuscany of Germany. For this reason, predominantly southern-style plants and two trees were planted among the greenery. 🚴♂️

Villa in the Heidesheim Castle Park
Highlight • Structure
Heidesheim Castle was opposite the former Heidesheim train station. It was a palace building for the Counts of Leiningen and was burned down in 1794 by troops from the French Revolution. Except for the castle park, it has completely disappeared. Today there is a chic villa with old trees in the castle garden.

Old Town Hall (1720) – Offstein/Alzey 🚴♂️
Highlight • Historical Site
Old Town Hall (possibly 1720) – Offstein/Alzey 🚴♂️
The town hall of the municipality of Offstein was first described in the inventory book of 1720: "Before Wald the common street, to the Rhine, bakehouse-farm-estate, adjoins the common street towards Bingen and Speyer." The keystone in the archway of the ground floor bears the date 1819 and presumably indicates the date of the renovation, but the actual construction period is unknown. The Baroque forms of the building allow a comparison with the Palatinate building type of so-called "chapel town halls," in which the ground floor is used as a chapel and the upper floor as the mayor's office. That this was planned or intended at the time of construction is rather unlikely, as it was only briefly used for church purposes; otherwise, the basement was temporarily used as a storage room, a blacksmith's shop, or a fire station, and sometimes also as a residence. The upper floor still houses the mayor's office and the council chamber. Today, the building is a listed building. 🚴♂️

Protestant Church (1865) & War Memorial — Obrigheim 🚴♂️
Highlight • Religious Site
Protestant Church (1865) + Memorial - Obrigheim 🚴♂️
Obrigheim's church was originally built as a chapel. The tower, dating from around 1500, still stands here. The church building was rebuilt in 1865, and an additional story was added to the tower in 1910. 🚴♂️
--------------------------------------------------------
Obrigheim's war memorial stands on a raised outer wall in a small green area (former cemetery) next to the church. The group of soldiers commemorates the fallen and missing German soldiers of World War I and World War II with inscriptions bearing the names of the soldiers. 🚴♂️

Ev. Stephanskirche + Ehrenmal - Albsheim a.d. Eis 🚴♂️
Highlight • Religious Site
Protestant St. Stephen's Church + Memorial - Albsheim an der Eis 🚴♂️
The church, built around 1200, with its striking tower and soldiers' memorial, cannot be overlooked. The building, including its nave, was rebuilt into its current form around 1515. Interesting fact: The church houses one of the oldest original organs in the Palatinate, dating from 1730.
------------------------------------------------
The war memorial directly in front of the church, dating from around 1930, is a larger-than-life sandstone German soldier on a cubic base. It commemorates the fallen and missing German soldiers of the First World War of 1914/18 with inscriptions of their names.
