The town lies in Rhenish Hesse on the northwest edge of the Upper Rhine Plain.

Wörrstadt is surrounded by typical Rhenish-Hessian countryside: In places that are favourable to the purpose, there is intensive winegrowing, and in less exposed locations, cropraising.

The Rhenish-Hessian countryside is widely cleared, with natural vegetation hard to find or not present at all.

This makes Wörrstadt a bit of a peculiarity in Rhenish Hesse, as it has one of the region's smallest wooded areas in the Neuborn.

Wörrstadt lies at an elevation that affords charming and, for Rhenish Hesse, remarkable views into the distance.

The outlying centre of Rommersheim, formerly Eichloch, lies in a hollow and is strikingly nestled into the man-made countryside.

Wörrstadt's neighbours are Armsheim, Ensheim, Gabsheim, Gau-Bickelheim, Gau-Weinheim, Saulheim, Schornsheim, Spiesheim, Sulzheim, Udenheim, Vendersheim and Wallertheim.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:[4] The town's arms might be described thus: Sable a gridiron palewise Or, the crossbars fesswise and the handle to chief, supported by two lions reguardant argent armed and langued gules, one each in dexter and sinister.

It, and all subsequent seals, show the local church's patron saint, Lawrence of Rome, holding his attribute, the gridiron.

In 1956, a coat of arms very much like the current one was proposed, the main difference being that the lions were not “reguardant” (that is, looking back behind them).

Nevertheless, in Kaffee HAG albums published in the 1930s, Wörrstadt's arms are shown, as on the old seals, with Saint Lawrence holding his gridiron.

A special solar facility has been developed where a photovoltaic power station covering 17.3 ha can be found.

[7] In the first half of 2008, the new headquarters for the alternative energy generator juwi (whose name is customarily written with a lowercase initial) came into being in the industrial area near the Autobahn.

The town also has at its disposal an interchange on the A 63 over which midsize and major centres such as Alzey, Worms, Mainz, Kaiserslautern and Frankfurt can be reached very easily.

Over the Alzey–Mainz railway, run on “Rhineland-Palatinate timing”, Wörrstadt station can be reached from Mainz in roughly half an hour.
