Ebertsheim, with its Ortsbezirk of Rodenbach lies in the historic Leiningerland on the river Eisbach in the eastern Eis valley, just short of where this opens out at the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest onto the uplands of the Weinstraße region (as distinct from the Deutsche Weinstraße – or German Wine Route – itself) and the Upper Rhine Plain.

The district administration designated Rodenbach as an Ortsbezirk in 2006, giving it the right to document this status on the placename sign and to elect a local leader (Ortsvorsteher) and a deputy.

In 1996, the Pennsylvania German and Palatine newspaper Hiwwe wie Driwwe was founded in Ebertsheim by Dr. Michael Werner.

In August 2009, a runaway Red-necked Wallaby made headlines when it was first spotted within Ebertsheim's limits and later also photographed.

[6] Today's Ebertsheim Evangelical Church, built in the 12th century as “Saint Stephen’s” (St. Stephan), is among the oldest in the Palatinate.

It is unclear whether these were meant to ward off evil or were simply bits of older buildings – spolia – used in this structure.

The Landesstraße (state road) 395 (Grünstadt–Enkenbach), links Ebertsheim with Grünstadt's outlying centre of Asselheim and Bundesstraße 271.

The Ebertsheim halt lies on the Eis Valley Railway from Grünstadt to Ramsen, and is served by scheduled Regionalbahn trains.

For this event, the L 395 is closed to all motorized traffic for a whole day and made available exclusively to pedestrians, as a rule hikers, as well as skaters and cyclists.
