Un mercato molto gestibile, un (ex?) panettiere di pan di zenzero, alcuni pub, un bagno, una panetteria, un caffè e alla fine del paese, sulla pista ciclabile WAS e R9, si trova il negozio di imbottigliamento Stöffche Krämer (Bembel with Care), con il suo Stöffsche originale e speziato.

Per inciso, WAS sta per la pista ciclabile "Water Adventure Band Gersprenz", che il distretto di Darmstadt-Dieburg ha pubblicato e che è disponibile anche lì come gpx.

What is the historical significance of Pfaffen-Beerfurth?
Pfaffen-Beerfurth has a rich history, with documented evidence dating back to 1324. A significant aspect is its historical division from Kirch-Beerfurth; in 1478, Pfaffen-Beerfurth was sold to the Holy Spirit Foundation in Heidelberg, while Kirch-Beerfurth remained under different rule. This separation shaped their identities for centuries until their voluntary merger in 1970, and subsequent integration into Reichelsheim in 1972. This history is still palpable in the village's character.
