history
Dexheim was first mentioned in a document in 774. A donation from the Frankish King Karlmann to the Lorsch Monastery , which also included a property in Dexheim, was notarized . As an imperial village , Dexheim was directly imperial . The villages of Dexheim, Schwabsburg and Nierstein formed a community that was administered by the Niersteiner Rittergericht. In 1375 Dexheim, together with Schwabsburg and Nierstein, was pledged to Elector Ruprecht I of the Palatinate. With that these places came under the rule of Electoral Palatinate and lost their imperial freedom. As part of the Oberamt Oppenheim , Dexheim was part of the electoral state until the end of the 18th century. After that, Dexheim belonged to France as part of the Département du Mont-Tonnerre . After the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars, Dexheim fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1816 .
Between 1953 and the end of 2009, the US armed forces maintained around 75 hectares of barracks with residential, utility and administrative buildings near the local community in Rhine-Hesse. Although the area was completely within the urban area of Nierstein ( district / Schwabsburg district), the barracks was named US Army Anderson Barracks Dexheim .
