Originally standing here was a menhir some 2 m tall, known in the local speech as the Hinkelstein; this is now kept in the Monsheim Castle grounds.

Some of the first German settlers in North America, who founded Germantown Township, Pennsylvania in 1683, were from Monsheim's outlying centre of Kriegsheim (then spelled Cresheim).

Another coat of arms was proposed in 1956, which might have been described thus: Azure semé of crosses pattée or a church with a tower in sinister charged with a cross pattée of the same, in chief above the nave an eagle displayed, wings elevated argent, armed and langued of the second.

The ones there show the eagle with a red (gules) tongue and claws, but with silver (argent) legs and beak.

Monsheim station lies on the Rheinhessenbahn (railway), which runs from Bingen am Rhein to Worms.

Moreover, the Zellertalbahn begins in Monsheim, running to Langmeil, an outlying centre of Winnweiler, on which excursion trains go to Hochspeyer in the summer.

On summertime weekends and holidays, journeys on the Elsass-Express ("Alsace Express") to Wissembourg are possible.
