A church dedicated to St. Martin is mentioned in a Fulda document as early as 788. At that time, the church was owned by the Otakar noble family who lived here. In 1348 it belonged to the parish of Wackernheim as a parish church. In the middle of the 16th century, at the instigation of the Palatine Electors, first the Lutheran and then the Reformed confession was introduced.

Note: The Mainz City Hall is currently undergoing renovation. In November 2019, the resident offices moved out. Colloquially, it is jokingly referred to as the "Fox Den" (in reference to the serving Mayor Jockel Fuchs at the time of its inception) or "Civil Servant Prison": The Mainz City Hall is undoubtedly a characteristic building with its own unique architectural language. Previously, Mainz had been without a city hall for five centuries – until the Mainz City Council commissioned the renowned Danish firm Jacobsen and Weitling to…
The town hall was built in 1832. In exchange for another site, the municipality of Monsheim received the building and the land from the Möllinger family. From then on, the house served as the town hall, and later the kitchen, the milk collection point and the fire brigade were also housed here. Today, meetings of the local council are held here, as well as the office hours of the local mayor. Text taken from Tour of Monsheim with kind permission.

According to historical maps, this round and two storey fortified tower with a pointed stone cone shaped roof was to the south-east of the old defences. The former eastward section of the wall led, across the later Neuweg, towards the Uffhubtor. The tower dates from the first half of the 15th century. This style of tower is most frequent in Ober-Ingelheim. In the 19th century they were often transformed to condominiums.
