The tower built around the year 1000 and the old mute organ from 1784, together with the beautiful window painting and a winged altar, offer a successful cross-section through various eras. During the Thirty Years' War and also in the Palatinate War of Succession, the church, which was considered the main fortification of the village, was severely damaged and partially destroyed. In 1706 it was awarded to the Protestants, which they renewed in 1725 with a flat ceiling. Even after several renovations, the entire complex of today's…

The church, often referred to as the "Selztaldom" in the vernacular, does not have this title for nothing. Favourably positioned on the outskirts of the town and thus dominating the silhouette and landscape from afar, it is an outstanding example of late 19th century church architecture. Built in 1888 in neo-Romanesque style after a construction period of just under two years, the parish church deliberately echoes the spirit of the time. Significantly, the inscriptions on the first bells proclaimed the sacred patriotic slogans of the last…

The Unterhaus Forum Theatre in Mainz is among the best known small stages in Germany. It is the venue of the annual Deutsche Kleinkunstpreis award ceremony for fringe productions and offers a programme covering satirical reviews, intimate plays, and comedy performances. There is also a programme for children. Satirical revue is like a match: if there is no friction, there is no flame. (Werner Finck)
Above the castle, on the walled former cemetery, stands the evangelical church of St. Peter, which originally served as a fortified church. Castle and church used to be connected by an underground passage. When the Romanesque church was destroyed by fire in 1435, the tabernacle with the hosts inside miraculously remained intact. This so-called "Miracle of the Host" gave rise to pilgrimages. The new church was completed in late Gothic style at the end of the 15th century. With its old paintings and grave commemorative plaques, it is an…
Exhibition on three levels, pilgrimage site, nesting site. For more than 50 years, electrical energy was converted from the medium-voltage network to the low-voltage network, i.e. the local network, in the Sulzheim transformer tower, thus ensuring the supply of customers in the area. After all electrical overhead lines in the village were laid underground in 2009, the transformer tower no longer had any function and was for sale. This was taken over by a private individual with the vision of turning it into a meeting place with public…
