Dalsheim was earlier known as a Flecken (“market town”), which explains the village wall’s name, Fleckenmauer.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:[3] The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Sable in base two inescutcheons in fess leaning against each other, on the dexter gules Saint John with a nimbus, on his dexter arm a lamb argent, on the sinister bendy lozengy sinister argent and azure, upon both inescutcheons a lion passant Or langued and crowned of the second.

[4] Flörsheim-Dalsheim is among Rhenish Hesse’s biggest winegrowing centres.

Its various vineyards are part of the Großlage (winemaking appellation) of Burg Rodenstein, and are the Dalsheimer Hubacker, the Sauloch, the Steig, the Bürgel, the Goldberg and the Frauenberg.

The Fleckenmauer – the village wall – girds the constituent community of Dalsheim.
