Osthofen - administrative center of the Wonnegau

In the south of Rheinhessen, in close proximity to the Rhine and to Worms, lies Osthofen. With its location amidst vineyards and the Altrheinsee Eich, the city offers a wonderful starting point to explore the region with its natural beauty. But it's not just the surrounding landscape that has much to offer. Osthofen itself can also look back on a long and eventful history, which began in 784 with the first mention of the village "ostova" (Osthofen) and turned the former village into the administrative center of the collective municipality Wonnegau in 2015.
