In memory of the last "Ausscheller" in the municipality, a sculpture was erected in 2011, which is supposed to represent the former municipal servant and Ausscheller for public announcements - Mr. Karl Ritzinger. The work of art was made of black sheet metal by Gerd Vollmer and depicts the former parish clerk with the bell raised and the official announcements that he read out at various points in the parish.

The Church of St. George in the center of Dalheim was completed in 1611 and renovated in 2013.
Here you can see a section of an early medieval long-distance water pipeline. It was found in the immediate vicinity in 2004. Scientifically, it was dated to the construction period of the imperial palace, i.e. to the end of the 8th century AD. The long-distance water pipeline carried high-quality drinking water from the "Karlsquelle" spring area near Heidesheim via the Wackernheim valley to Nieder-Ingelheim, to Charlemagne's palace.

The small church seems to have practically disappeared behind a high wall. The ground floor of the Romanesque chancel tower was rebuilt with an arched ceiling in the early 14th century. On the sides of both the tracery windows, on the east and south walls, paintings with their decoration have been preserved and show Peter and Paul as well as two ohter disciples or prophets. The delicately made figures stand under painted Wimperg arches. The sacristy, added in the 15th century, is very large and lavish compared to the chancel.
The Bornheim lookout tower is located in the middle of the sea of vines and offers a wide view over Rhine-Hessian Switzerland. This is also the location of the "Hiwwelrast", a wine tasting stand run by the surrounding winegrowers.
At this location there is a well shaft, which was under an asphalt surface until 2012. In the course of the urban redevelopment the Saalbrunnen fountain became part of the townscape again. Today, travertine blocks mark its location. The location of the Saalbrunnen is particularly interesting: it is located exactly at the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse axes of the Carolingian core- and building development. The location of the Saalbrunnen thus marked the centre of the palace complex around 800. The symmetrical arrangement…
