Wachenheim, Alzey-Worms

After a traffic count in 2005, the number of vehicles passing on the B 47 in the Wachenheim area had been found to be roughly 7,000 in 24 hours on average.

Johannes Würth's self-publication Heimatbuch für Wachenheim an der Pfrimm unter Berücksichtigung seiner Umgebung (1930) yields some information: From the time about 2000 BC, some little pots together with a ring of baked clay of the crudest kind were found in a grave during clearing work on Sülzer Weg in 1896.

Around the municipal areas of Wachenheim, Mölsheim and Monsheim, evidence of settlement from several prehistoric periods was found, including Hinkelstein, Flomborn, Hallstatt and La Tène.

Uneven crop growth in 1905 led to digging in the area between Harxheimer Straße (Bundesstraße 47) and the river Pfrimm in the summer of 1905.

“Mills of this size were found in great Roman estate operations, which are known from many examples in Rhenish Hesse and the Palatinate, among others, also one in Wachenheim.

On the occasion of Friedrich von Botzheim's christening on 28 November 1766, King Frederick II of Prussia and Crown Prince William both stood godfather.

With the 1815 Congress of Vienna, Wachenheim passed to the Grand Duchy of Hesse, whereas its neighbours to the west in the Zeller valley (Niefernheim, Harxheim and Zell) were annexed to the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Sharp-eyed hikers in the Wachenheim municipal area can still discover a border stone with the abbreviations GH (for Großherzogtum Hessen) and KB (for Königreich Bayern) during their explorations.

Wachenheim itself is still said to be a classic wine village with five winemaking businesses whose main work lies in this pursuit, and four others who pursue it as a sideline.

[4] Wachenheim's flag, according to the certificate issued by the now abolished Regierungsbezirk administration is to be five horizontal stripes of like breadth, alternating between yellow and black with the municipality's coat of arms in the middle.

Given Wachenheim's favourable location with regard to transport, on the one hand with the B 47 running through the municipality, and on the other with the A 61 motorway with its Worms-Pfeddersheim and Mörstadt interchanges being nearby, makes it easy to reach.

In neighbouring Monsheim to the east, the seat of the like-named Verbandsgemeinde, Bundesstraßen 47 and 271 cross each other, the latter of which, beginning in Bockenheim, is called the Deutsche Weinstraße (German Wine Route).
