This municipality lies in the historical Leiningerland (the lands once held by the Counts of Leiningen) on the Eckbach valley floodplain.

To the west rises the Haardt at the Palatinate Forest’s eastern edge, and in the east stretches the Upper Rhine Plain.

Clockwise from the northwest, Laumersheim is bordered by Obersülzen, Dirmstein in the northeast, Gerolsheim in the southeast and Großkarlbach in the southwest.

The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess sable semée of crosses Or a key bendwise argent, the wards in chief and turned to base, and azure in dexter a mullet and in sinister a moon increscent of the second.

Bartholomäuskirche – Saint Bartholomew’s Catholic Church was once a branch parish of the village of Berghaselbach, which stood on the Palmberg, but later was lost.

Dating back to Gothic times is the tower with the quire; in the sacristy, wall paintings from the early 14th century are preserved.

The nave was newly built in 1719, after the village, together with the church was set on fire in 1689 by French troops during the Nine Years' War.

The Eckbach Mill cycleway and footpath (Eckbachmühlen-Rad- und Wanderweg) runs on a slight slope along the brook through the village.

Above all, good red wines from the municipality (for instance Pinot noir and St. Laurent), which are often aged in oaken casks, are shipped throughout Germany.

With some 40 ha given over to fruitgrowing, 80% of it for growing eating apples, Laumersheim also claims an important share of the regional fruit production.

For almost half a century, from 1891 to 1939, the municipality enjoyed the service of the Lokalbahn, a single-track narrow-gauge 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) railway.
