history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 773. After 1434 the church was enlarged in the Gothic style. The church survived the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Palatinate Succession with damage. In 1706 it was awarded to the Evangelicals, who renewed it from 1725 and equipped it with an organ later in the century.

Until the end of the 18th century, Hangen-Weisheim belonged to the Palatinate Oberamt Alzey . During the so-called French era , the place was assigned to the canton of Bechtheim , which was part of the Donnersberg department .

Due to the agreements reached at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and a state treaty concluded in 1816 between Hesse , Austria and Prussia , the region and with it the municipality of Hangen-Weisheim came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and was assigned to the province of Rheinhessen by this .

After the dissolution of the Rhine-Hessian cantons, the place came in 1835 to the newly established Worms district , to which it belonged until November 1, 1938. In the course of the regional reform at the time, he joined the Alzey district , which was renamed the Alzey district shortly afterwards .

In 1945 American troops occupied the place, which however was added to the French zone of occupation in the summer of 1945 and in 1946 became part of the new state of Rhineland-Palatinate . The Alzey district continued until the administrative reform of June 7, 1969, in the course of which the overwhelming part of it was dissolved in the Alzey-Worms district, to which Hangen-Weisheim has belonged ever since.

From 1972 to 2014 Hangen-Weisheim was part of the Westhofen community , and since then has been part of the Wonnegau community.
