Evangelical Church Asselheim (Elizabeth Church)

Highlight • Religious Site

possibly Asselheim Parish Church
The church is only open for services.

The St. Elisabeth Church was built around 1300. First as a chapel in honor of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia shortly after her canonization. In 1496 the chapel was raised to the status of a church. The former defense tower, part of the local fortifications, was converted into a church tower. During the Second World War the church was hit by bombs and burned down to the ground. The reconstruction took place in the years 1949/50.

Story:
Due to inheritance disputes between the Counts of Leiningen, the time around 1460 can be regarded as uncertain. It is assumed that the citizens of Asselheim preferred to visit the St. Elisabeth Chapel in the village than the parish church of St. Stephen far away in the field. In 1496 the St. Elisabeth chapel was raised to the status of a church, and the Wart or Roman tower was converted into a church tower. It consists largely of the rust-brown Capuchin stones found in the surrounding area. The first Protestant pastor held the first service in 1560. In 1841 the big bell burst, in 1864 this misfortune repeated itself. During the Second World War, the church was hit by incendiary bombs and burned down to the foundations.

The reconstruction took place in the years 1949/50. The ringing, renewed in 1951, can still be heard today. On Sunday, August 18, 1996, the citizens of Asselheim celebrated the 500th anniversary of their church and the elevation of the chapel to a church with a festive service.

The Gothic church key from the time it was built has been in the collection of the Grünstadt Museum since 1906.

Neuleiningen Historic Village

Highlight • Settlement

Neuleiningen is a nearly 800 years old castle village with about 900 inhabitants. The castle, visible from afar, was built in the first half of the 13th century. The story is quite interesting, see neuleiningen.de, and strolling in the streets is also fun 😀

Valley Road Neuleiningen–Höningen

Highlight • Trail

You start from Neuleiningen with a very gentle slope of an average of 2% to Lindemannsruhe. The first section leads through the valley along the Eckbach and, in my opinion, is relatively boring to drive, as this section to Altleiningen is very industrial. Only from Altleiningen does the road meander below the castle on a narrow road through the village, creating a feeling of seclusion and tranquility. In the center of the village behind the Protestant church, the path turns left with a short steep incline in the direction of Höningen. If you have done this you get a very good view of the valley of the Höniger Bach with its meadows and fields. After leaving the Höningen monastery, which is only a ruin, and the village, the narrow road climbs gently up to 488m above sea level. NN. Very nice, winding section with little traffic. Especially at dusk, when rays of sunshine fall through the mixed forest here and there, the Palatinate Forest with its red sandstone cliffs shows itself from its most beautiful side. If you have made it to Lindemannsruhe, you only go downhill to Leistadt, from where you have a beautiful view of the Rhine plain.

Altleiningen Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

It's fascinating how a modern youth hostel has been integrated into this ruin. From below you would expect a completely dilapidated ruin. The large outdoor pool directly in front of it is not an eye-catcher, but it certainly makes the castle even more interesting as a hostel for children and young people.
