오늘날 '사과나무'를 뜻하는 중세 고지 독일어 'Affalter'에서 유래한 'Affelderle'라는 이름을 가진 건물에 대해서는 더 이상 많이 알려져 있지 않습니다. 이곳은 '잃어버린 성', '버려진 장소'로, 더 이상 볼 것이 많지 않고 확실하게 말할 수 있는 것도 많지 않습니다. 이 성은 한때 'Streitstein' 또는 'Schloss Streithberg'(1574년에 언급됨)라고도 불렸으며, 아마도 10세기에 Weißenburg 수도원에 의해 라인강 횡단 지점인 Pfortz(Maximiliansau) – Knielingen을 방어하고 노르만족과 헝가리인의 습격으로부터 보호하기 위해 건설되었을 것입니다. 성은 원래 나무와 흙으로만 지어졌으며, 11세기 또는 12세기에 이르러서야 돌로 된 구조물이 생겼습니다: 강력한 환형 성벽과 방어 해자를 가로지르는 도개교를 갖춘 토루 언덕 성입니다. 이러한 성은 프랑스에서 '모트'(Motte, '흙덩이', '더미')라고 불리는 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 주로 나무로 지어진 초기 중세 성의 한 유형으로, 주요 특징은 일반적으로 탑 모양의 건물과 함께 인공적으로 만들어진 흙 언덕입니다.

The sculpture “Daphne” is part of the Germersheim art and ski tour trail. "Daphne is a nymph in Greek mythology. As the god Apollo, the love god Eros mocked him, he took revenge by throwing a golden love arrow at him and a lead one shot at Daphne. Apollo fell madly in love with Daphne, while Daphne, hit by Eros' arrow that had exactly the opposite effect, became unreceptive to any love affair. When Apollo harassed Daphne, she fled to her father Peneios, a river god, and was transformed into a laurel tree for protection. The statue represents this moment of transformation. The lower body and legs already have them Metamorphosis to trunk and roots passed through. The upper body, arms and head still show human features. The face is so highly stylized that the viewer is left wondering whether the features show the agony of metamorphosis or the relief of rescue."

"Between 1834 and 1861, the imposing Germersheim Fortress was built on behalf of the Bavarian King Ludwig I as a bulwark against France. The largest Bavarian fortress outside of Bavaria still shines in all its splendor today. The war of 1870/71 came Germersheim in particular was of strategic importance, as the operations of the 3rd Prussian Army under the leadership of Crown Prince Frederick were based from here. However, it was never used as a defensive fortification against France, which earned it the nickname “Peaceful Fortress”. Despite the partial demolition From 1920 to 1922, as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, numerous important buildings were preserved that enclose the entire city center."
