Ostheim was first mentioned in a document dated between 1145 and 1159. The ending of the place name suggests that the village was founded in Franconia

The natural monument Ostheimer Linde is said to be around 1000 years old and is supported by a few support beams. It used to be a place of assembly and court, but also a place where celebrations took place. That's why it's called the dancing linden tree. It is right at the entrance to the Ostheimer Church. The linden tree is said to have been hollow for 200 years.
