history

Dautenheim was first mentioned in a document in 781, but excavations of a Roman country villa suggest that it was settled much earlier. In the Middle Ages, from 1237 to approx. 1563, the Weidas Monastery was located near Dautenheim . After the abandonment of the monastery, the stones were used to build the Alzeyer town hall in 1584, so that today there is only a plaque commemorating the monastery on the exit to Kettenheim . The population is around 500. The Weidas flows through Dautenheim .

On April 22, 1972 Dautenheim was incorporated into the city of Alzey.

Mayor

Kornelia Kopf (SPD) was elected as mayor on May 26, 2019 with 87.35%. She is the successor to Wolfram Schäfer, who was no longer a candidate.

coat of arms

The former Dautenheim coat of arms is based on a former chapel in Dautenheim, which was consecrated to St. Nicholas . The three characters (three dots) on the white rectangular field are characteristic of the representation of the saint. They represent three gold nuggets or three purses with which these three girls are said to have saved them from prostitution. The coat of arms was designed pseudo-modern, which is why the normal spherical shape is no longer recognizable. Another coat of arms for Dautenheim can be found until 1960.

Sports

In Dautenheim there is a grass soccer field as well as a gymnasium and community hall. In addition to the local gymnastics club (TV Dautenheim), there is a game community with the neighboring village of Esselborn (SG Dautenheim / Esselborn) in the field of football.

Economy and Infrastructure

Rural wine-growing community. From a large number of former wineries, 2 wineries still offer wines from their own bottling and sale at the farm. A winegrower's hotel has existed in Dautenheim for several years.

Culture and events

The most important annual event is the curb, which always takes place on the first weekend in July. Furthermore, the community organizes a “forest festival” every summer in the small wood of the village.
