history

The place was first mentioned in documents in 823. In the later early Middle Ages, most of the land in Ockenheim Kloster Prüm , but the parish church belonged to St. Andreasstift in Cologne. Ockenheim had been mainly Electoral Mainz since 893 at the latest. In 1325 the Cologne monastery exchanged its patronage rights a. a. in Ockenheim against patronage rights of the Mainzer Liebfrauenstifts ( St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz also called BMV, Mariengreden or Maria ad gradus) near Cologne. The Mainzer Liebfrauenstift held a substantial share of the property in the town and in return provided pastoral care. Especially after the Thirty Years' War it hardly fulfilled its duties, so that the parish church - since the early Middle Ages on the site of today's cemetery - was and remained in disrepair. The Elector of Mainz had a Burgus built , as in every other place in northern Rheinhessen - in Ockenheim im Leger at today's Antoniuskapellchen / start of the cycle path to Gau-Algesheim . The center shifted from the area of ​​today's Gaulsheimer Straße ('Insel') to today's Bahnhof- and Alleestraße. A Marienkapelle was built here in the 17th century, which the Ockenheimers used as a replacement church. When the chapel became too small and no support was expected from the Liebfrauenstift, the Marienkapelle was enlarged and turned into a parish church (1774). In 1793 Ockenheim became part of the Mainz Republic, 1801–1814 it belonged to France. From 1816 to 1945 it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hessen-Darmstadt, later Gau Hessen and from 1947 to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate . In the early 1970s, as part of the administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, the incorporation of Ockenheim into Bingen was under discussion. However, the community spoke out in favor of independence and therefore became part of the Gau-Algesheim community in 1973.

With the development of new residential areas and a commercial area, the place grew and the original form of settlement Ockenheim was changed. The population grew from around 1,450 at the end of the 1960s to over 2,600 at the end of 2018.
