The Steinberg (also called Napoleonshöhe) is one of the fossil-bearing places in Rhenish Hesse with mammalian remnants that are some ten million years old from the Prehistoric Rhine's Deinotherium Sands, so called because they have so often yielded up fossil remains of the extinct proboscid Deinotherium.

Sprendlingen is characterized by winegrowing, and as a midpoint community has a good retail infrastructure and several industrial employers such as the recreational vehicle manufacturer Eura Mobil and the building service provider K.H.

At the Sprendlingen (Rheinhessen) railway station there is hourly service by DB Regio AG Regionalbahn trains.
