The location was mentioned in 1523 with the name "am goldtberg". The designation of a hallway with this name rarely indicates the precious metal, but rather is an expression of general appreciation.

Over 50 vineyard cottages - and a single well cottage

There is probably no village in Rheinhessen that could boast more vineyard houses: As many as 54 cottages adorn the vineyards of Westhofen. They were once shelters against the weather. In this particular one however, a spring was "protected" and a water reservoir was connected to it. The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1721 under the name "am brunnenhäusschen". The soils are characterised by clay marl with limestone and limestone rocks in the subsoil. “Terra Rossa", a red soil, is also found here. The winegrowers cultivate Riesling, Silvaner, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir. One of the highest vineyards in Westhofen.

Originally reserved to the priest only, nowadays open to everyone

“Frühmesse” is the German word for the early mass, a holy catholic mass, which the priest read in the early morning, before starting work. The grapes and wines from the single vineyard "Alsheimer Frühmesse" were apparently used to pay such a priest or chaplain. The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1721 under the name "zur Frühmeß" (engl. For early mass). Many Rheinhessen grape varieties grow on fertile loess soil. Loess is a very soft material thanks to which there can also be some hollow trails found in the municipality. These are paths cut deep into the landscape, created by erosion and time. Today they are a precious refuge for animals and nature.

The smallest and possibly most idyllic single vineyard in Alsheim.

The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1720 under the name "im Fischerpfadt". The single vineyard is about five kilometres away from the river Rhein. Fishermen once took this route, coming from the village of Wintersheim. The single vineyard is the smallest, but possibly the most idyllic in Alsheim. It is located directly by the district of Hangen-Wahlheim - with only ten houses, old trees and the remains of an old church for Maria Magdalena. The table of wine invites you to a picnic with a panoramic view of the Rhine valley. The vineyards are characterised by deep loess soil. Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and other grape varieties grow here.

As always in Rheinhessen, this name comes from the southern position of the vineyards.

This layer designation goes back to soil finds from Roman times.
