Associations (e.g. horse lovers Fidei) or public buildings (e.g. Fidei-Halle Zemmer) bear the name. Fidei still plays a certain role in local patriotism . This was evident, for example, in the reorganization of the municipalities in Rhineland-Palatinate. From 1968 there were repeated efforts to bring the individual places together as an administrative unit on the basis of Fidei.
