Open-Air Museum of Roman Sarcophagi and Street Art
Highlight • Historical Site
Archaeological finds from Roman times show that a Roman settlement existed in the Gönnheim district in the 4th and 5th centuries AD, located on the Roman military road that connected Mainz, Worms, Altrip and Speyer with the Haardt region. Archaeologists have uncovered burial sites, among other things; the stone sarcophagi found contained jewelry, lamps, brooches made of bronze and some silver, as well as Roman coins.
In Gönnheim, there is now a small open-air museum behind the church of St. Martin with nine exposed stone sarcophagi. The massive sarcophagi give visitors an impression of the burial culture of the Roman settlers. Picture panels with photos of grave goods show a selection of the ancient artifacts found in Gönnheim.

St. Martin's Protestant Church, Gönnheim
Highlight • Religious Site
"A chapel in honour of Saint Martin in Gönnheim is first mentioned in surviving documents in 1488. ....
By 1575 at the latest, Gönnheim was practically Protestant. ... During the Thirty Years' War, in which Gönnheim was badly affected and at the end of the war only had 3 inhabited households, the chapel was badly damaged and was completely ruined. It was not until 1681 that the chapel was partially rebuilt using the old masonry.
The nave was completely rebuilt in 1756. [Note 4] In keeping with the simple Protestant style of construction, the form of a simple hall without columns was chosen. The hall ends in a simple three-sided choir. The windows are also simple. They are typical long windows of the 18th century, which have a semi-circular end. The ceiling is flat and simple. Only a round medallion made of stucco is attached to the hanging chandelier in the middle of the church. In the The year 1757 can be read on the keystone of the round-arched entrance portal. [Note 5] The architect was Rockenbach from Frankenthal.[Note 6] Immediately after the church was built, the Reformed congregation commissioned two bells from Georg Friedrich Schrader in Frankenthal. After one bell broke in 1781 and the other was deemed too small, two new bells were commissioned from the same foundry. [Note 7] The inscription read: Cast in Frankenthal by G.F. Schrader for the community of Gennheim in 1781. When the bells ring, Gennheim praises God's son. [Note 8] The organ was not installed until around 1860. A new altar was built around 1900. [Note 9]
In 1770, the tower was rebuilt at the community's expense. [Note 10] It was given a simple four-sided roof. The delicate dome, which it still has today in a reconstructed form, was added around 1899 according to plans by the architect Franz Schöberl (1845-1908) from Speyer, when the tower was raised slightly. The floor with the round-arched sound openings dates from 1770. [Note 11] The church was completely destroyed by an Allied air raid on December 6, 1942. The dome also burned down. The tower was given a makeshift flat roof. The tower is still owned by the civil parish, while the church is owned by the parish. [Note 12]
The current interior, consisting of the pulpit in the choir, altar and pews, were built after the Second World War and are made of stained wood. Stylistically, the furnishings are nevertheless reminiscent of the era in which it was built, as they are all in the Rococo style. The new organ was inaugurated for the 200th anniversary in 1957. [Note 13]. The church was restored between 1950 and 1956 after the destruction in the Second World War. Only the organ loft was taken from the former Lutheran church in Wachenheim. [Note 14]
When the tower was extended around 1900, it was given a new roof structure and three new bells were purchased. Two of these three bells were taken down to be melted down. After the war, during the term of office of Mayor Philipp Uhrich II around 1920, new bells were purchased. Since the bells from the Hamm company in Frankenthal did not meet expectations, the bells were recast by the Pfeiffer company in Kaiserslautern. After two bells had to be handed over again in the Second World War, the last bell in the church tower miraculously survived the bombings.
The church was last renovated in 1991. It is a characteristic reformed church of the Rococo style."

Owl Mural in Gönnheim

Nice to look at. Great idea.
Art exhibition by bike. International WineStreetArt Festival. Hopefully it can take place in 2021. In 2020 it was canceled. That is why 30 works of art that were created in the last 5 years can be seen on site and at any time. More info: winestreetartfestival.de

Gadepädelcher Art Trail Gönnheim
Highlight • Trail
"The Gadepädelcher, a Palatinate dialect term for gardens and paths, are a Gönnheim specialty.
The natural footpaths, which have probably existed for over 500 years, lead, sometimes hidden and winding, through the gardens and green spaces behind and between the houses and farms in Gönnheim. They still serve today as a shortcut or as an idyllic stroll. In 2017 the Gadepädelcher were opened up for two circular routes."
The starting point of the two circular routes (clockwise!) is the municipal scale at Marktler Platz. There is a flyer about these circular routes outside of the Wiehausl.
