Location of Weinsheim in Worms

Weinsheim is a district of the city of Worms located about four kilometers southwest of the core city with about 2800 inhabitants. Originally a purely agricultural area, Weinsheim now also serves as a residential area close to the city.

geography

Weinsheim is located on the southern edge of the Eisbachaue in the transition area to the flat foothills of a fertile loess riedel . The west-east-facing street village was expanded to the east and later to the north since the beginning of the 20th century, where it has largely merged with the Horchheim district north of the Eisbach . To the east of the old town is the so-called "Ostpreussensiedlung", which was laid out for displaced persons after the Second World War .

Weinsheim borders in the west on Wiesoppenheim , in the north on Horchheim and in the northeast on the residential areas Nikolaus-Ehlen -Siedlung and Karl-Marx -Siedlung, which are part of the core city of Worms . In the south are the Palatinate communities of Bobenheim-Roxheim and Kleinniedesheim .

history

Weinsheim was first mentioned in 804 in a document about a donation to the Fulda monastery . Since the 14th century the village belonged as a fief of the Bishopric of Worms to rule Stauf . In 1388 these sovereign rights passed to the Counts of Sponheim-Bolanden and in 1393 to the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken . In a contract concluded in 1427, the diocese of Worms and the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken shared the property rights to Weinsheim and eight other villages. When the Nassau-Saarbrücken part came to the Electoral Palatinate in 1683 and 1706, the Electoral Palatinate passed on its rights to the diocese of Worms, which was the sole owner of Weinsheim. In 1794, the village was occupied by French troops during the coalition wars. In 1815/16 Weinsheim was then assigned to the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

Weinsheim had had its own mayor since 1715; between 1792 and 1831 the village was administered as part of the neighboring village of Wiesoppenheim. On April 1, 1942, Weinsheim was incorporated into Worms together with Herrnsheim , Horchheim and Leiselheim .

coat of arms

Blazon : In a divided shield in blue a golden key, below in gold a blue grape with green leaves.

The golden key refers to the coat of arms of the diocese of Worms , which owned the place before the French Revolution . On the one hand, the grape takes up the place name as a talking coat of arms , but also reminds of the vineyards south of the village and the economic importance of viticulture.
