	Wattenheimer Bridge	Outside of the local area, corridor: 3, parcel: 90	The Wattenheimer Brücke is a historic building from the late 18th century in the south of the Hessian Ried, which crosses the Weschnitz River near the town of Lorsch. The Wattenheimer Brücke lies at the intersection of two important old streets. This and the living space around the bridge, with sufficient arable farming and the best opportunities for collecting, hunting and fishing, ensured that people settled here in prehistoric times. The archaeological finds on the bridge range from the Neolithic to Roman times. An ax, an arrowhead, a hoe and a storage vessel were found from the Neolithic Age (3000–1800 BC). Among other things, a coin was found from Roman times with the image of Emperor Nerva, dated to 96–98 AD. Remains of a Roman swamp bridge were discovered at the Wattenheim Bridge	Late 18th century

	Tobacco scales	outside the village, in the Klosterfeld location	Tobacco growing and processing played the main role in the working life of the Lorschers. Tobacco has been grown since 1670. Because of tobacco, Lorsch even had its own customs office, since tobacco was exported and foreign tobacco was imported for cigar production. In the 1920s, 200 planters are said to have worked on a cultivated area of ​​50 hectares and a total of around 800 people lived from tobacco cultivation. Several small cigar factories were in operation and several large tobacco companies had branches in Lorsch.	Around 1850

After her death she bequeathed it to her first son, Emerich Joseph, who remained unmarried. He found it difficult to hold onto the house and put a mortgage on it. After his death, the owners changed until it was used as a cigar factory from 1868 to 1921 by Ludwig Auler from Bensheim. Today the palace is still popularly called “the auditorium”. It then served the city of Lorsch as an apartment building until it was completely refurbished in 1978 by a Bensheim manufacturer.	1779

more pictures	Old Town Hall	Marktplatz 1 Location hall: 1, parcel: 679	Lorsch already had its own village constitution at the time of the monastery. That is why there was also a kind of town hall. Since the middle of the 16th century there was a two-storey half-timbered building with an open purchase and auction hall on the ground floor and a large conference room on the upper floor at the site of today's town hall. After the old town hall had become dilapidated at the end of the 17th century, the new town hall, as it stands today, was completed in 1715. In 1902 an extension was added. The volunteer fire brigade's syringe house was housed on the ground floor until 1953. On the upper floor of the town hall is the representative “Nibelungensaal”, which is now used as a meeting and concert hall. It is equipped with extensive wall paintings on events in Lorsch Abbey, which at times had the status of a principality.	1715	30249
