Stadecken-Elsheim is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Stadecken-Elsheim lies just under 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) (as the crow flies) southwest of the state capital of Mainz in the middle of the wine region of Rhenish Hesse on both sides of the Selz. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Nieder-Olm, whose seat is in the like-named town.
Stadecken-Elsheim borders in the west on Jugenheim, in the northeast on Essenheim, in the east on Nieder-Olm (all likewise in the Verbandsgemeinde of Nieder-Olm), in the northwest on Schwabenheim (Verbandsgemeinde of Gau-Algesheim) and in the south on Saulheim (Verbandsgemeinde of Wörrstadt in Alzey-Worms).
Stadecken-Elsheim is a municipality made up of the two formerly self-administering municipalities of Stadecken and Elsheim on 7 June 1969. The newly created double municipality was supposed to be given the coined name “Sonnenberg”. This suggestion was, however, rejected. Named first in today’s double-barrelled name is Stadecken, for its greater size.
Given that the municipality was formerly two separate ones, there is no common history that can be told about Stadecken-Elsheim. Therefore, to have a clear, comprehensive picture of the whole municipality’s history, one needs to consider each centre’s history separately.
