Dolgesheim lies on the Gaustraße – Landesstraße (state road) 425 – halfway between Mainz and Worms.

Founded in the 5th century by Frankish tribes, the place known as Dulgisheim had its first documentary mention in 769 with a donation to the Lorsch Abbey.

At this time, a Theo und Unsetz donated 2 morgens of cropland “in pago Wormat in Dulgisheimer Mark”.

Between 1825 and 1931, the building of the Gaustraße between Mainz and Worms brought good links to Rhenish Hesse’s cities.

The silver eagle is the charge borne by the Counts of Leiningen and represents their former lordship over Dolgesheim.
