The place, first mentioned in 1223 under the name “Jochenheim”, was owned by the Prince-Bishops of Speyer in the Middle Ages, who temporarily held their seat there.

Jockgrim and its Hinterstädtel are picturesquely situated on a promontory of the Hochgestades. From the basement you can have a wonderful view of the former fortress Jockgrim, which was once provided with a city wall and fortress towers and surrounded by a moat.
Jockgrim was one of the "royal villages" on the edge of the Bienwald, which fell to the Speyer monastery in 1265. Under Emperor Charles IV, the place received city rights in the 14th century. The Hinterstädtel with the Ludwigstrasse belongs to the oldest part of Jockrim. Half-timbered houses are lovingly prepared and they testify to a wealthy pearl of the Bienwald.
