It is known that the area was already inhabited about 32,000 years ago by primitive people of the Aurignac culture . During excavations after 1969, the first mainland dwelling places of this Ice Age man in West Germany were found here. Later the Roman road Cologne - Trier led through the place. A Roman settlement is evidenced by coin finds, a Frankish settlement mainly by large grave fields from the 5th to 8th centuries. Since the turn of the first millennium, Bodenheim belonged to the Lommersum farm association.
