Pfeddersheim is located in the Pfrimm valley in Rhenish Hesse and surrounded by Riesling vineyards.

The town became so rich and important that it became a member of the Rhenish City-League in 1381, like the cities of Frankfurt, Mainz, Strasburg and Worms.

Pfeddersheim surrendered, together with Worms, to Louis V, Count Palatine of the Rhine and became Protestant, as did many regions in today's Rhineland-Palatinate.

Pfeddersheim became the capital of a canton of 24 villages in the département Mont-Tonnerre during the French occupation of the left bank of the Rhine in the Napoleonic Empire.

The local football team TSG Pfeddersheim is known in the region since it played in the Oberliga Südwest from 1992 to 2000 and missed promotion to the Regionalliga West/Südwest in 1996.
