    The historic ruin of the Bell Church is idyllically situated on the Steigerberg. In 2019, the 500th anniversary of the church standing on solidified sand was celebrated and prehistoric finds even show that this place has been used by people for religious and cultural purposes for a much longer time.

    I find the discussion about naming interesting, because there are many theories about it: The reference to the mighty poplars (= barking), which still characterized the image at the foot of the church at the beginning of the 20th century, is mentioned most often. But also "Bella Maria" in connection with the patronage of the church and the Celtic source god Belenos appear in current or earlier discussions. Source: bellerkirche.de

    If the parking lot at the church is full, you can park at the village community center in Eckelsheim (300 m).

      In summer there is also a medieval market here at the Belle Church

        The Beller Church was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, but nothing more is known about this.

        Until 1902, the Beller market - probably the largest and best-known of its kind in the southwestern region - was held around the Beller church.
