The Zornheimer Ruhkreuz was voted the most beautiful wine view in Germany in 2020 Rheinhessen. Fantastic view, wine bar on weekends in the hiking season.

"Save us from plague, hunger and war, O Lord." In the last year of the war, 1918, the Catholic parish erected this cross. It got its name from the former vineyard "An der Ruh". The name indicated a place where a bench had been built. Often there were only two bars with a crossbar. Hikers or market goers could put down their load there and rest for a few minutes.

Since 2020, a stele has been erected only about 30 meters away. This position was awarded the "Most Beautiful View of Wine 2020 Rheinhessen" after a public vote by the German Wine Institute.

The view opens up over the vineyards to the Selzbogen, where the Selz, coming from the south, turns east between Selzen and Hahnheim and then north, only to later flow into the Rhine near Ingelheim. The view extends to the Donnersberg in the east. To the northwest, the view extends to the skyline of Frankfurt am Main.

The Ruhkreuz was inaugurated on July 7th, 1918. The Catholic parish in Zornheim had it built. Some parishioners financed the project and the evangelical sculptor Stieb from Nieder-Olm made it. At the Ruhkreuz station was inserted in petition processions.

A wayside cross must have stood on the site of the cross erected in 1918. The field name "Am Kreuz" for the vineyards to the south of the site is documented as early as the 18th century
The vineyard location "An der Ruh" was decisive for the naming of the cross.
