Freimersheim is a small municipality in the district Alzey-Worms, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is first mentioned in the records of the Lorsch Abbey in AD 763, and through most of its history was an abbey possession. Its agricultural origins can still be seen clearly, though it now also has many people who work in surrounding cities such as Alzey or Worms.
During the years, it was called by a number of varying names, including Frimersheim (763), Frigmersheim (770), Freimaresheim (790), Vreimersheim (1263), Frimirsheim (1281), Freysenn (1294), Frymersheim (1303), Freymershaim (1337). At the end of the 18th century, it was called Freimersheim hinter der Warte ('behind the Warte', a mountain), to distinguish it from Framersheim.[1]
