Niederhochstadt is the larger of two villages in the municipality of Hochstadt in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Until 1969 it was independent.

Location

[edit]

Niederhochstadt forms the eastern part of the municipality and has meanwhile grown into one built-up area together with its neighbouring village of Oberhochstadt, so that there is no longer any open land between them. To Niederhochstadt belong the streets of Friedhofstraße, Großgasse, the eastern end of the high street (Hauptstraße). The stream of Hainbach grazes the northern edge of the urban area. In the south, the parish extends to a hill spur of the Bellheim Forest.

Culture

[edit]

Niederhochstadt is home to an unusual descendant of the traditional card game of German Schafkopf, known as Alter Schoofkopp.[1]
