Weisenheim am Sand

Weisenheim am Sand (Palatine German: Weisrem) is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bad Dürkheim district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Weisenheim am Sand lies in the Upper Rhine Plain in the Eastern Palatinate (Vorderpfalz). Through Weisenheim flows the Fuchsbach, which empties into the Isenach in Frankenthal. Within the village's limits is the neighbouring recreational area “Käschdeberg”. By both land area and population, Weisenheim am Sand is the biggest village in the Verbandsgemeinde of Freinsheim (whose seat is in the like-named town), to which the smaller municipality of Weisenheim am Berg also belongs.

The area around Weisenheim is believed to be one of Germany's mildest regions and is particularly suited to winegrowing and fruitgrowing.

Friedrich Schiller got his silver sand from Weisenheim to dry his ink.

The council is made up of 20 council members, who were elected at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:

The mayor is Michael Johannes Bähr (CDU).
