Dienheim

Dienheim (German pronunciation: [ˈdiːnhaɪm]) is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Dienheim lies between Mainz and Worms, in Rhenish Hesse. The winemaking centre belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Rhein-Selz, whose seat is in Oppenheim.

In the 8th century, Dienheim had its first documentary mention. The village passed in Charlemagne’s time to the Fulda Abbey. Later it ended up as an Imperial pledge in Electoral Palatinate’s ownership.

Dienheim is mentioned in the Wormser wall-building ordinance from around 900 as one of the places that shared responsibility for maintaining the city wall of Worms.

From the early 13th century, the Barons of Dienheim are witnessed, later, from the 16th to 18th century, being assigned to the Rhenish Knightly District’s (Rheinischer Ritterkreis) canton of Oberrheinstrom.

The council is made up of 17 council members, counting the part-time mayor, with seats apportioned thus:

(as at municipal election held on 13 June 2004)

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per pale sable and argent a lion rampant Or armed gules and a cross of the first.
