history

8th century

Wintersheim was first mentioned in 766 in the Lorsch Codex . On June 17, 766 a Hairdin gave the Lorsch monastery a vineyard with a yield of 4 ohms (160 liters) of wine. Numerous other donations to the monastery followed over the next few years, including vineyards. Viticulture must therefore have played an important role in the Wintersheim area in the 8th century.

15th to 18th century

Landgrave Hesso von Leiningen-Dagsburg died in 1467 . His property fell to his sister Margarethe von Leiningen-Westerburg . Her brothers von Leiningen-Hartenburg raised violent resistance to this. Margarethe had to call the Elector Friedrich I of the Palatinate for help. She promised the Palatinate half of the disputed 19 villages for his successful support in a partition agreement from 1471. After Margaret's death, her son Reinhard I von Leiningen sold some of the villages in question to Elector Philip the Upright in 1481 . Wintersheim, which had thus become Palatinate, was among the villages sold. In 1589, Wintersheim received court and village regulations ( Weistum ). It is located in the Hessian State Archives in Darmstadt in the “Weistümer” collection under number 118. During the coalition wars, the French revolutionary troops made their first incursion. The end of the Electoral Palatinate rule comes after 1796. Wintersheim is assigned to the canton of Oppenheim .

19th century

Wintersheim, Eimsheim and Dolgesheim are combined as the lowest French administrative unit in 1801 and receive a common Mairie (mayor's office). With the passing of the German Federal Act , Wintersheim comes to the Grand Duchy of Hesse with the 3rd Province, later referred to as the Province of Rheinhessen . Samuel Dettweiler becomes the first mayor of Wintersheim in 1836. The savings and loan fund Dorn-Dürkheim-Wintersheim was founded in 1872. The consumer association was founded in 1873, and in 1875 the choral society "Unity" was founded.
