history

Municipal coat of arms before 1957

The place was first mentioned in a document from the year 793 contained in the Lorsch Codex . Traces of settlement brought some Roman finds from a Frankish burial ground, including a sarcophagus . For a long time, Wiesoppenheim belonged to the Worms Monastery and at times had its own jurisdiction.

It was not until 1875 that the church of St. Martinus, which dates back to Carolingian times, was demolished due to its disrepair. St. Martin's Church in neo-Romanesque style, built for this purpose in 1875/76, still shapes the village image today. A small altar for the three Roman goddesses of fate (the Parzen ) is said to have been located inside until 1883 . Today there are carved saints from the 15th and 17th centuries. Century.

Every year on Michaelmas day, one week after the church fair, a procession is carried out to a small chapel on the edge of the field, a holy house. This procession goes back to a vow made during the Thirty Years' War . The residents vowed an annual procession in case they were spared the plague.

Wiesoppenheim celebrated its 1200th anniversary on May 22nd and June 9th to 13th, 1993.
