history
Dittelsheim
Werner II von Bolanden received the place Dittelsheim to fiefdom from the Counts of Katzenelnbogen around 1190 . The Electoral Palatinate gradually acquired the Raugräflichen, old Bolandischen shares and those of Wachenheim and Dalberg (15th to the beginning of the 17th century). During the Middle Ages, the lords of Dalberg were bailiffs.
Anton Praetorius was the first Reformed pastor to work in Dittelsheim from 1592 to 1595 . He became known as an opponent of the witch trials . In Dittelsheim he wrote the oldest description of the first large barrel in Heidelberg Castle . In 2013, students from the Rudi-Stephan-Gymnasium in Worms initiated a memorial plaque for Anton Praetorius at the Protestant rectory.
Hessloch
On August 5, 1375, the knight Wolfgang I. Treasurer of Worms founded a hospital in Heßloch and provided it with income. The street name "Am Spital" still reminds of this facility today.
In the witch hunt against the women of Hessloch in 1599, at least three women were burned at the stake. In the witch trial against Margreth, wife of Philipp Mohr, the accused managed to escape from custody.
After the territorial reform
Today's community was created on June 7, 1969 through the amalgamation of the previously independent communities Dittelsheim (then 916 inhabitants) and Hessloch (880 inhabitants). At the same time, the spelling of the village "Hessloch" was changed.

coat of arms
Blazon : “In a square shield top right in silver a silver spring erupting from a round red vault, surrounded by two green deciduous trees growing on a green background, top left in blue with three points rising into the golden head of the shield three silver lilies 1: 2, below roughened to the right by silver and blue, at the bottom left a green hazel branch with four red fruits. " | |
Foundation of the coat of arms: By the fifth state law on administrative simplification of February 14, 1969, §37, the communities of Dittelsheim and Heßloch were dissolved and merged into a new community, which was named Dittelsheim-Heßloch. Both communities had an approved coat of arms before the merger. That of the former municipality of Dittelsheim returns in the first field at the top right. The origin of the name Heßloch is controversial, but according to the law it is appropriate to use a hazel bush for the name form, as has been attested in court seals since 1524. This old court seal is used in the fourth field at the bottom left, revising both the incomprehensible representation of a rose bush at Demandt-Renkhoff and the individual hazel leaves in the coat of arms of the former municipality of Hessloch, approved on August 18, 1958. The approved coat of arms of the former municipality of Heßloch as well as the court seal from 1524 each combine the hazel tree emblem in the lower half of the shield with the coat of arms of the Lords of Dalberg as the owners of the local rule in Heßloch in the upper half of the shield. As in these forerunners, Dalberg's coat of arms appears above the hazel branch in the coat of arms of the new municipality of Dittelsheim-Heßloch. Accordingly, Dittelsheim zur Kurpfalz is partially documented in the field at the bottom left. The former municipal coats of arms and the territorial affiliation of the two districts are thus each diagonally opposite. |

Culture and sights
- Saracen tower : Tower of ev. Church in the district Dittelsheim, created by older conception in 1200, popularly known as " Heidenturm called". Dendrochronological studies of the timbers in the octagonal tower floors have shown that they were erected around 1080. The church itself was demolished in 1729 and replaced by a baroque building, only the vestibule and the tower remained. Allegedly, Moorish or Byzantine style influences are a determining factor in this Romanesque tower; it is often referred to as the most beautiful of its kind in Rheinhessen. The spire with the 16-fold dome roof indicates the relationship between the Hohenstaufen Rhineland and the east and belongs to a group of similar spiers in Rheinhessen (cf. Alsheim, Guntersblum and St. Paul in Worms). The name "Heidenturm" (Saracen tower) refers to the crusaders who are said to have built it.
- Old Catholic Christ Church
- Roman Catholic Church of St. James
- Kloppbergturm , around 14 m high observation tower with an attached tower restaurant on the Kloppberg

Economy and Infrastructure
wine growing
Viticulture has a long tradition here. Dittelsheim-Heßloch covers around 1,350 hectares, of which 446 hectares are planted with vines.
Differences in altitude, various small climatic conditions and very different soil conditions, ranging from heavy, loamy soils to light sandy soils, are good prerequisites for viticulture and therefore many different grape varieties thrive in Dittelsheim-Hessloch, making a wide range of wines possible.
As a VDP member, the Winter winery is a top quality producer in Dittelsheim.
traffic
The Gaustraße (L 425) running through the district of Heßloch connects the municipality with Mainz in the north and Worms in the south. From Gaustraße, the L 414 branches off in Heßloch to Gau-Odernheim , which also connects the two districts.
The former common station was located between the two districts on the Gau Odernheim – Osthofen railway line, which was closed for passenger traffic in 1974 . It was called Dittelsheim . A loading crane for freight transport was put into operation there in early 1917.
