As a

Evangelical
church.

South of Stein-Bockenheim rises the Dunzelbach.

History

In 784, Stein-Bockenheim had its first documentary mention as Buckenheim.

Politics

Municipal council

The council is made up of 12 council members, who were elected by

majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.[3]

Coat of arms

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Argent a Steinbock rearing sable langued gules and unguled and attired Or.

The municipality's armorial charge is the Steinbock, the Alpine Ibex.[4] The charge, however, has no historical roots, and is likely a canting charge for the first syllable in the municipality's name, although this was added to the name only quite late in history, and may refer to the former landlords, the Rhinegraves zum Stein (“at the Stone”). The charge's name does also correspond to the second syllable in the municipality's name.

Culture and sightseeing

Regular events

The yearly

kermis
(church consecration festival, locally known as the Kerb) is always held on the third weekend in September.
