The Zellertal is a valley region in the east of the North Palatinate Mountains in Rhineland-Palatinate . The western part belongs to the Palatinate Donnersbergkreis , the eastern part to the Rhenish Hessian district of Alzey-Worms . The valley is named after the former municipality of Zell , which became part of the new local municipality of Zellertal in 1976 .
geography
The Zellertal as a Mulde valley with relatively flat slopes is bounded in the north and south by a chain of low elevations that are less than 300 m high. The distance between the two mountain ranges is 2 to 3 km. In between, the valley extends roughly from west to east, protected from north winds. In this direction it is also traversed by the Pfrimm , an almost 43 km long left tributary of the Rhine .
The valley exit in the east is about 135 m above sea level in Rheinhessen in the community of Monsheim . This includes the three first valley communities - Monsheim , Wachenheim and Mölsheim - upstream . To the west, on the Palatinate side, then follow the three districts of Zellertal ( Niefernheim , Zell and Harxheim ) and the local communities Einselthum , Albisheim and Marnheim . There the Zellertal ends after 12 km at 185 m altitude.
Attractions
The 15 m high and widely visible Zellertal memorial is a landmark of the valley . The expressionist Gothic-style monumental building was erected in 1928 as a war memorial in honor of the fallen soldiers of the First World War at an exposed vantage point next to Kreisstraße 64 between Zell and Mölsheim, which runs high on the slope . The baroque pilgrimage church of Zell is dedicated to Philipp von Zell , who is venerated as a saint in the diocese of Speyer .
Further cultural monuments are described for the individual local communities.
