Bockenheim an der Weinstraße, Wine route starting point in Palatinate, Germany

The municipality of Bockenheim lies at the northern end of the German Wine Route, spreading across 11.24 square kilometers in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The settlement, first documented in 770 in the Lorsch Codex, consisted of two separate centers, Großbockenheim and Kleinbockenheim, until their merger in 1956.

The Saint Martin's Church, dating from the 11th century, stands near the Emichsburg castle ruins and features Romanesque architectural elements.

The municipality maintains excellent transport connections through Bundesstraße 271 and the Pfälzische Nordbahn railway line, integrated into the Rhine-Neckar transport network.

Local vineyards extend over 400 hectares, and the town hosts the annual Palatine Dialectal Poetry Contest, preserving regional linguistic traditions.
