Bischofsheim, Administrative district in Hesse, Germany.

Bischofsheim sits in the Mainspitzdreieck region between the Rhine and Main rivers, surrounded by green spaces and residential neighborhoods.

The settlement received its first documented mention in 1200 as Bissescheim circa Menum, marking the beginning of its recorded existence.

The local heritage museum, housed in the Old Town Hall, contains extensive exhibits about railway culture and hosts regular community gatherings.

The Mainz-Bischofsheim train station functions as a major railway junction, connecting the routes between Darmstadt and Mainz through the Hessian Ludwig Railway.

From 1930 to 1945, Bischofsheim belonged to the city of Mainz as one of its districts on the right bank of the Rhine.
