Along almost the whole length, the defensive wall, which runs parallel to Burgunderstraße, is still preserved, though on different heights. It follows the course of the defence moat, which was filled in last century, and runs in a straight line towards the west to the Stiegelgässer Tor. At about halfway this tower with a pointed roof, attached to a house, could be preserved.
Mysteriously, without revealing its history, on the slope of the L430 feeder road from Udenheim to the former B 40, now the L401 in the Nieder-Saulheim district, stood the little shrine, popularly called "Heljerheisje".

Bad Münster am Stein - Ebernbu

Also worth seeing is the Wamboldscher Hof, a stately home in the middle of the village, built around 1770 in the Baroque style. The wide gateway with pilasters and the mansard roof are particularly striking. After the French Revolution, this stately building served as a schoolhouse until 1963 and is now the parsonage of the Protestant parish of Partenheim. Visits: By prior arrangement
Carl Zuckmayer set a literary monument to his birthplace Nackenheim with his play "The Merry Vineyard". Open-air performances of his works take place here regularly.

In Ockenheim, the Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul invites you on a journey into the past. The building from the late 18th century impresses with its baroque architecture and magnificent saint figures. The tower stands proudly over the village, and the interior is a true masterpiece of baroque art. It is worth taking a moment to pause and let the spiritual atmosphere take effect.
