Wolfsheim, Germany
Wolfsheim is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The municipality lies in Rhenish Hesse.
The placename likely goes back to a Frankish settler named Wulfilo. In the geographer Gerardus Mercator’s 1595 world atlas, the place was catalogued under the name WOLFZIM
In 1844, within Wolfsheim’s limits, an important gold find was made at a princely grave from the time of the Migration Period (Völkerwanderung). The find comes from the early 5th century and today can be found in the Wiesbaden Museum in the collection of Nassau antiquities.
A Late Roman “knob glass” – crafted with glass knobs on it – shaped like a kantharos, was found while some drainage pits were being dug in the Im Weiler rural area. That can be found in the Landesmuseum Mainz.
On 15 May 1950, the Rheinsender (“Rhine Transmitter”) near Wolfsheim was brought into service by Südwestfunk SWF (now Südwestrundfunk SWR).
In 1974, Wolfsheim was split away from the Alzey-Worms district and incorporated into the Mainz-Bingen district.
The municipality's landmark is the Rheinsender, a large medium-wave transmission facility that can be seen from a great distance, broadcasting on the frequency 1 017 kHz.
