The municipality lies in Rhenish Hesse and belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Alzey-Land, whose seat is in Alzey.

The small, rural, agricultural, winegrowing centre lies in a hollow at the foot of the wooded “Hemm” and has vineyards on all sides.

Lonsheim has the Mandelberg and Schönberg wineries, which are part of the winemaking appellation – Weingroßlage – of Adelberg.

Lonsheim’s neighbours are Bornheim, Bermersheim vor der Höhe and Heimersheim (an outlying centre of Alzey).

Not only are the footballers masters of their craft, but the TVL’s gymnasts, too, regularly take part successfully in meets.
