Here you can see a section of an early medieval long-distance water pipeline. It was found in the immediate vicinity in 2004.

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". The Gothic wayside shrine has a four-sided base made of limestone. The upper, widened half contains four niches facing all points of the compass, which are protected against wind and weather by a roof-like closure. Inside the niches there were probably figures of saints in earlier times. The Heiligenhäuschen was mentioned…

Jahrhundert schon eine kleinere Kirche. 1226 wurde das Gotteshaus spätgotisch umgebaut. Das Langhaus stammt aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, die nachgotischen Seitenschiffe Anfang 17. Jahrhunderts. Romanische Elemente im Chor, Rundbögen, Säulen und Türdurchgängen sind noch zu sehen. Sehenswert sind das riesige alte Steinkreuz mit Christusfigur…
