Dielheim

The Leimbach Route runs through Dielheim; the SportPark and Kelterhalle offer further specific points of reference for activities. The town’s history includes the first documentary mention of Dielheim and a Catholic church dating from 1784. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether your plans are more closely tied to a bike ride, a specific activity time, or a cultural-historical topic. These local points of reference differ in their route, intended use, and historical connections.

Cycling Route and Local Activities

The 46 km Leimbach Route opened in May 2015. It starts at Sinsheim-Hoffenheim railway station and follows roads away from heavy traffic through Dielheim, Wiesloch, Leimen, and Schwetzingen to the Rhine. Dielheim lies along the route; the stated starting point is Sinsheim-Hoffenheim railway station. The distance refers to the entire route. If you include the route in your plans, check its current status and the detailed conditions before setting off.

The SportPark is an open facility. In principle, its areas can be used from morning to evening by Dielheim residents, clubs, and organized groups. A different offering with more specific hours is supervised climbing on the ranko®-wall in the Kelterhalle Dielheim: it takes place on Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m. for children and young people aged 5 to 16. If you include this session in your travel plans, check the schedule before your visit.

History in Dielheim

Dielheim was first mentioned in a document in the Lorsch Codex in 767. The Catholic church dates from 1784; its Gothic choir tower now serves only as a bell tower. Thus, an early written record of the town and a church built in the late 18th century stand side by side as distinct historical points of reference.
