Open Air Theatre
In 1953 the open-air theatre was built by the members of the Verschönerungsverein (club whose aim it is to preserve the natural surroundings and to maintain traditions). The official opening took place on 3rd July of the same year. Under director Phillip Hummel theatre plays were successfully performed every year up to 1960. The audience came to Eppelsheim from all over Rhine-Hesse by coach.
The following plays were performed:
| 1953 | Black Tatjana (folk play) |
| 1954 | Katharina Knie (Carl Zuckmayer) |
| 1955 | When the Cock Crows (August Hinrichs) |
| 1956 | Marriage with Erica (folk play with singing) |
| 1957 | The Black Hannibal (Karl Bunje) |
| 1958 | New Lord on Linden Manor (R. Bars) |
| 1959 | Im weißen Rößl / In the Little White Horse (Oskar Blumenthal) |
| 1960 | Crab Apple (H. A. Weber) |
In 2000 the Verschönerungsverein celebrated its 120th birthday. On that day the amateur drama club performed the comedy "The Unbelievable Story of the Stolen Stinking Cheese".
