Hiking

On the small square between the market square, the central bridge and the Wambolterhof you will find the citizens' defense fountain. The civil defense fountain was built in 1934 at the instigation of Joseph Stoll, the founder of the historic Bensheim civil defense and equipped with the classicist column by the Darmstadt court sculptor Philipp Johann Scholl, which was formerly part of the market fountain.

A small but nice Easter market takes place around the citizens' defense fountain at Easter. For details see bensheimerleben.de
