 It belonged to the Mainz district and later, in 1851, it passed to the Oppenheim district.It therefore has much history in common with the neighbouring places of Nierstein, Schwabsburg and Oppenheim.After World War II the US Army (123rd Main Support Battalion) remained here for many years until Anderson Barracks closed in 2008 and the Institute for Federal Real Estate (Germany) took over responsibility for the site.
