The district of Frei-Weinheim is located directly on the Rhine and is known for its ferry connection to the wine-growing region of Rheingau.

The Protestant church was built in 1910 in Art Nouveau style, after the former Reformed church in Kirchstraße from 1739 had become too small and dilapidated.
