Biebelnheim is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Alzey-Worms district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The municipality lies in Rhenish Hesse. As a winegrowing centre, Biebelnheim lies in Germany’s biggest winegrowing district, in the middle of Rhenish Hesse. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Alzey-Land, whose seat is in Alzey. The nearest town is Alzey (6 km), and the 30 km to the state capital, Mainz, is easily crossed on the Autobahn A 63.
Biebelnheim’s neighbours are Albig, Bechtolsheim, Gabsheim, Gau-Odernheim, and Spiesheim.
The municipality, once known as Bibilinsheim, lying on a slope, is of a picturesque, rustic character. It is said that the robber and outlaw Schinderhannes (Johannes Bückler) once had a hideout here.
Sometime between 1382 and 1384, Electoral Palatinate acquired the Vogtei, as did the freeholders of Electoral Mainz in 1391. After its assignment to the sideline of Zweibrücken in 1410, the place once again found itself in the Palatinate’s hands in 1470.
The council is made up of 12 council members, with the honorary mayor as chairwoman.
