Ebertsheimer Straße 5 is a listed former town hall and school building in the Rhineland-Palatinate community of Kerzenheim . The building was erected in 1775 in the Baroque style.

The structure is an eaves-standing building with five window axes and two floors. The facades of the plastered building are structured with sandstone , the windows are not drilled, and there are no shutters. Four pilasters structure the window axes in a ratio of 2: 1: 2. A narrow band runs around the whole house between the floors. The street-side stairs were removed when the driveway was widened. The former main entrance is now walled up, the upper part with glass blocks . The east facade with partial hip shows a coupled pair of windows on the upper floor, which like two window is bricked up the entrance floor.

An inscription in a triangular frieze above the lintel indicates the year of construction and the building owners responsible for the community in Kerzenheim:

"*
17 * K * 75
IOHAN HARTMUTH RITTER
SBACHER SCHULDEIS • GORG DANIEL BAUM
THE COURT • IACOB • BERND • THE COURT • IOHA
N PHILE • BERNHART • THERE COURT • IOHAN • MICHAEL NEUMEUD"

So it is the mayor Johann Hartmut Rittersbacher, as representative of the sovereign, and the four judges of the village court : Georg Daniel Baum, Jacob Bernd, Johann Philipp Bernhart and Johann Michael Neumeud (?).
