The Old Cemetery is located south-east of Stadecken-Elsheim and was formerly part of the Hedesheim deserted area, which was abandoned in the 14th century to move closer to the then newly built Stadeck Castle. The cemetery was still in use until 1804. At the place where it used to be, there is now a small grove. In front of it there is a small resting place.
The clock tower in Oppenheim was built in 1843/44 on the remains of a former defensive tower of the medieval town fortifications in the neo-Gothic style. The tower is around 31 meters high and houses a viewing platform, among other things. The tower clock from 1907, which is still in working order, chimes the half and full hours. The building is maintained by the Friends of the Clock Tower in Oppenheim am Rhein and is a listed building. Further information can be found at www.uhrturm-oppenheim.de .
