The winemaking centre belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Gau-Algesheim, whose seat is in the like-named town.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per fess at the nombril point Or an eagle displayed sable armed, langued and beaked gules, and gules in fess an ear of grain bendwise leafed, a cherry twig fructed of two and leafed of one and a bunch of grapes slipped bendwise sinister of the first.

The Evangelical and Catholic churches in Bubenheim are both open to visitors and stand near the village square.

The Bubenheim kermis (church consecration festival, locally known as the Kerb) is always held on the third weekend in July.

The proximity to Ingelheim (Boehringer), Mainz (ZDF, Schott) and to the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region makes Bubenheim a popular dormitory and weekend village for many commuters.
