Bockenheim on the Wine Route is a wine-growing village in the Front Palatinate.
background
Bockenheim an der Weinstrasse marks the northern end point of the German Wine Route, which runs from here through large parts of the Palatinate wine-growing region and connects many interesting wine-growing villages. It was not until the 1990s that the House of the German Wine Route something like an official starting point was established.
The place in its current form did not come into being until 1956, when the villages Kleinbockenheim and Großbockenheim were merged. The border between the two villages can hardly be made out on site today.

Tourist Attractions
- 1 Martinskirche, Schlossweg 10. The Martinskirche sits enthroned on a hill above the former Kleinbockenheim and originally belonged to a castle, but nothing has survived today, only the name of a winery still reminds of the castle that once stood here. The church is first documented for the 12th century, but gradually fell into disrepair and was not restored until the Renaissance. The church tower from the Middle Ages is still completely preserved, and some valuable relics inside also go back to the Middle Ages. The tower of the former St. Mary's Church, which was demolished in the 19th century, still stands next to St.
- 2 Lambert's Church, Weinstrasse 39. The Lambert Church is located in the former Großbockenheim as the Protestant parish church of the village. The current church dates from the 18th century, after the previous building from the Romanesque period, which went back to a monastery church, was destroyed in the wars of the early modern period. Only the sacristy of the original Romanesque church has been preserved to this day.
- 3 Holy Church. The Holy Church is a former Catholic pilgrimage church in the vineyards west of Bockenheim. The church was destroyed as early as the 15th century and since then only ruins remind of the former pilgrimage church. Instead, an attempt was made to build a smaller chapel in place of the pilgrimage church; the construction work on this began around 1740, but ended abruptly with the death of the client and could only be completed 200 years later in 1936.
