House of the German Wine Route

Highlight • Monument

This is the counterpart to the German Wine Gate in Schweigen, which marks the southern end of the German Wine Route. The building, based on a Roman fort, spans the street. In the building there is, among other things, a restaurant, a tourist information office and a large parking lot on the other side of the street.

There are also two Kneipp pools on the premises, one for the arms and another for the feet, including detailed instructions. We divided it into "before eating" and "after eating" and were amazed by the lasting effect.

Evangelical Church Asselheim (Elizabeth Church)

Highlight • Religious Site

possibly Asselheim Parish Church
The church is only open for services.

The St. Elisabeth Church was built around 1300. First as a chapel in honor of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia shortly after her canonization. In 1496 the chapel was raised to the status of a church. The former defense tower, part of the local fortifications, was converted into a church tower. During the Second World War the church was hit by bombs and burned down to the ground. The reconstruction took place in the years 1949/50.

Story:
Due to inheritance disputes between the Counts of Leiningen, the time around 1460 can be regarded as uncertain. It is assumed that the citizens of Asselheim preferred to visit the St. Elisabeth Chapel in the village than the parish church of St. Stephen far away in the field. In 1496 the St. Elisabeth chapel was raised to the status of a church, and the Wart or Roman tower was converted into a church tower. It consists largely of the rust-brown Capuchin stones found in the surrounding area. The first Protestant pastor held the first service in 1560. In 1841 the big bell burst, in 1864 this misfortune repeated itself. During the Second World War, the church was hit by incendiary bombs and burned down to the foundations.

The reconstruction took place in the years 1949/50. The ringing, renewed in 1951, can still be heard today. On Sunday, August 18, 1996, the citizens of Asselheim celebrated the 500th anniversary of their church and the elevation of the chapel to a church with a festive service.

The Gothic church key from the time it was built has been in the collection of the Grünstadt Museum since 1906.
