geography

Geographical location

The municipality of Budenheim is the only association-free municipality in the Mainz-Bingen district that does not have city status. It is located in Rheinhessen nine kilometers west of the city center of the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital Mainz , bounded by the Rhine flowing past to the north and the Lennebergwald , which marks Budenheim's place of residence from south to west. To the east of the municipality are the Mainz districts of Mombach and Gonsenheim , to the south of Mainz-Finthen and to the west of Budenheim is the Ingelheim district of Heidesheim am Rhein . On the opposite side of the Rhine to the lies Hessian Rheingau-Taunus district belonging Walluf .

topography

The highest point in Budenheim is the 176.8 m high Lenneberg in the Lenneberg Forest. The Lenneberg Tower, inaugurated in 1880, stands on the Lenneberg .

geology

Budenheim is located in the north of the left bank of the Rhine in the Mainz Basin . The Mainz Basin is a former depression on the northwestern edge of the Upper Rhine Rift Valley , which was created in the Tertiary as a result of the long-distance effects of the formation of the Alps. The deposits of the Mainz Basin consist mainly of fully marine to brackish-marine siliciclastics from the Oligocene and brackish-marine limestones from the Miocene . A late Oligocene conglomerate - sandy sequence of layers in the north of the basin, which was previously known as milk quartz gravel , today bears the name Budenheim formation after its type locality near Budenheim . Miocene limestones were mined in the Budenheim quarry until the 1960s.

The Budenheim rhinoceros

Reconstruction of the skeleton of the Budenheim rhinoceros (copy in the Mainz Natural History Museum)

In the "Littorinellenkalk" (corresponds to the Inflata layers and the Hydrobia layers of the more modern nomenclature) of the Mainz basin near Budenheim, an approximately 20 million year old rhinoceros skeleton from the early Miocene was discovered in 1911 . It is a largely complete, 85 cm high specimen of the extinct, hornless, tapir -like manner minutum Protaceratherium . The Budenheim rhinoceros was originally determined to be a representative of the species Rhinoceros (Ceratorhinus) tagicus , which was linked to the assumption that it was a close relative of the recent Sumatran rhinoceros ( Dicerorhinus sumatrensis - the generic name Ceratorhinus is a younger synonym of Dicerorhinus ). A position in the "primitive" genus Protaceratherium excludes a closer relationship with the recent rhinos.

Numerous other Miocene vertebrate fossils have also been found in Budenheim. Most are from mammals, but some are also from crocodiles . The original copy of the Budenheim rhinoceros, one of the world's best preserved and most complete finds of rhinos from the Miocene, is exhibited in the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt am Main. There is an exact copy in the Natural History Museum in Mainz .

history

The place was mentioned as "Butenheim" in the Lorsch Codex in a list of the possessions of the Lorsch Abbey , which it had in the 8th century in and around Mainz (document no. 1977), as the only entry and without a year. In the Middle Ages , Budenheim was a fiefdom of the Rhine Counts before Count Siegfried II bequeathed the village to the Eberbach Monastery in 1272 . Twenty years later Budenheim fell to the Altmünster Abbey , whose abbesses determined events for the next centuries.

From 1563 the place belonged to the Mainz ore monastery . The Altmünster Abbey finally lost its influence in November 1781 when its assets were transferred to the Mainz University Fund. From the 1850s, with the construction of the Mainz-Bingen railway line and the expansion of shipping, industrialization took hold in Budenheim. Since the 1960s, viticulture, which had shaped the community in earlier centuries, has also been declining.
