Historic Old Town of Freinsheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Freinsheim enchants with its beautiful old town, which invites you to stroll and linger. Everywhere there are cozy restaurants and wine taverns, some in idyllic backyards, where you can stop off well and taste a regional Riesling, for example.

Protestant Church (Freinsheim)

Highlight • Religious Site

"The old main church on the market square, which has been Protestant since the 16th century, can look back on an eventful history. A "basilica" in Freinsheim was first mentioned as early as the 9th century. St. Peter's parish church is mentioned in a donation to the Enkenbach Monastery in 1257.
The tower of today's church is still Romanesque in the basement. The year 1470 is often given as the actual date of construction of the church adjoining the tower, which is confirmed by the building findings (Romanesque foundations, late Gothic additions). Remnants of the late Gothic vault testify to the earlier form as a hall church.
After the church was destroyed in 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession, a flat ceiling was installed during the reconstruction and the church was designed as a baroque hall church, incorporating the Romanesque and late Gothic remains. Also worth seeing are the stair tower with its portal from the Renaissance period and the hexagonal sandstone pulpit, which was also created during the Renaissance."

Haintor City Gate

Highlight • Monument

"Until the 19th century, Freinsheim had two entrances, the Eisentor in the north-east of the city and the Haintor in the south-west. The name Haintor probably comes from its orientation towards a small chestnut grove in front of the gates of Freinsheim. The gate system originally built also included a front gate with a kennel and two towers, which were demolished in the 19th century due to dilapidation.The tower is 15 m high and had one more storey before the Palatinate War of Succession.A drop gate, which is not today functional and only attached for decoration, was in earlier times an important component to protect the residents at night and from possible attacks The gates were already closed. The phrase is still known to us today from this event, but it is more in the sense of fear, not quite to get to know the desired partner in good time. If you leave the city through the Haintor in a westerly direction, you have a view of the Bismarck Tower and the almost 500 m high Peterskopf in the Palatinate Forest. Not far from there is the "Lindemannsruh", a tourist restaurant that was named after the former head forester Lindemann. We owe it to him that the chestnuts that the Romans brought to this region are still in such large numbers."

Iron Gate, Freinsheim

Highlight • Historical Site

The Iron Gate's inner gate was a special security mechanism in case the enemy had already entered through the mighty, outer gate. Then they threw stones or shot at him from above (from a bay window).
"In a stone niche [on the inside] a headless statue of Peter has found its place. In the case of the people of Freinsheim, on the other hand, the story of an innocently decapitated woman, the 'headless virgin', persists."

Old Village Mill, Großkarlbach

Highlight • Monument

The Eckbach-Mühlenwanderweg leads for about 23 kilometers through the southern Leiningerland. Originally, there were 35 mills in the various villages. In Großkarlbach remains of six mills are still present - nice intermediate goal of a tour.
