The best walks and hikes around Undenheim

Wonderfully beautiful tree. Pure nature

Near Undenheim, the path led us past the Eisweiher wetland, which was re-wetted in the 90s and currently forms a pond area of 7000 m². Since then, numerous animal species have settled there again: e.g. the little ringed plover and the yellow wagtail.

A comfortable bench for resting by the orchard.

The wooden sculpture can be found at the Selz bridge.

The Jewish cemetery in Hahnheim was established in the second half of the 19th century (around 1884?). An article in the "Frankfurter Israelitisches Familienblatt" (Frankfurt Jewish Family Journal) reports on the desecration of the cemetery at the end of 1904: Hahnheim Ff IsrFambl 06011905.jpg (22506 bytes) Article in the "Frankfurter Israelitisches Familienblatt" of January 6, 1905: "Hahnheim (Rheinhessen). Because of the gravestones recently demolished in the Jewish cemetery, the investigating magistrate has repeatedly conducted interrogations; however, these have so far been unsuccessful." The last burial in the Jewish cemetery in Hahnheim took place in September 1938 (Emil Trum). In March 1945, the cemetery was destroyed (see inscription on memorial stone), and the stones were used to build an anti-tank barrier. In 1948, the cemetery was restored as far as possible. Even today, traces of the destruction are still visible on the gravestones. In the cemetery stands a memorial stone for Jewish victims of the Nazi era. The inscription reads: "In memory of the Jewish community who perished under the Nazi regime. The cemetery was destroyed by the Nazis in 1945, and the gravestones were used to construct an anti-tank barrier." The cemetery covers 11.22 ares. Today, no more than 20 gravestones stand in two rows on the left and right, arranged loosely. Characteristic of the cemetery are the ten mighty field maple trees, visible from afar. The path at the southern end of Hahnheim, colloquially known as the "Jews' Path," leads directly to the iron double gate bearing the Star of David. The cemetery is maintained by the local fire department on behalf of the municipality. On New Year's Eve 1987/88, the cemetery was desecrated by two youths, aged 13 and 14, from Friesenheim and Köngernheim. They vandalized several gravestones.

Not quite as inviting, but then again, no one is likely to be barbecuing here in December.

A very beautifully designed complex and a look into the church is worthwhile
