Saint Lioba once chose Schornsheim as her retirement residence and is still venerated there today. (Charlemagne also had something to do with it.) -- The sewing machine at the village fountain is a sign that Schornsheim was a tailoring village known beyond its borders 100 years ago.

The story behind the Goose Fountain is as follows: As recently as the beginning of the 20th century, communal goose-herding existed in some Rhenish-Hessian towns, including Bechtolsheim. The shepherd would go from farm to farm, blowing the horn to gather the geese, sometimes several hundred of them, which he would lead out of the village into the fields and meadows to graze. In the evening, they would return. I think it's great that the knowledge of this tradition isn't lost... so this fountain is something like a "Rhenish-Hessian knight's stone"!

The wine-growing community of Schornsheim was first mentioned in 782 AD in a deed of donation from Charlemagne to the Hersfeld monastery. He made his Schornsheim treasury, including the church and land, available to "Saint Lioba" as a retirement home. She is one of the most important women of the Middle Ages. Although Lioba of Tauberbischofsheim only lived in Schornsheim for a few months before her death, she is still very present here today. She stands as a bronze Benedictine abbess in the middle of the village square and is surrounded by an artificial stream. At her feet stands a sewing machine - also made of bronze. It symbolizes the long tradition of many Schornsheim tailor families who worked for large factories in Mainz, Worms and Darmstadt. https://www.rheinhessen-mitte.de/a-geschichtsbrunnen

The Selz River rises near Orbis on the northern edge of the Donnersberg district. It flows through the districts of Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen, a historically densely populated, intensively farmed cultural landscape. After approximately 63 kilometers, the Selz empties into the Rhine near Ingelheim. Its 375-square-kilometer catchment area is characterized by a warm, dry climate with annual precipitation around 500 millimeters. Despite its low and often irregular flow, the Selz is considered a vital artery for the arid Rhine-Hessian hill country. The Selz Association carried out renaturalization projects along the Selz as early as the beginning of the 1990s, which garnered significant attention beyond the region.

The Selz is a 61 km long, southern and left tributary of the Rhine and one of the main waterways in Rhenish Hesse.[5] It flows in the Rhenish Hesse table and hill country in Rhineland-Palatinate through the Palatinate Donnersberg district and the Rhenish Hesse districts of Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen.
