Geography
Location
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.
Neighbouring municipalities
Biebelnheim's neighbours are Albig, Bechtolsheim, Gabsheim, Gau-Odernheim, and Spiesheim.
History
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.
Politics
Municipal council
The council is made up of 12 council members, with the honorary mayor as chairwoman.

Economy and infrastructure
Transport
Transport links could, given Biebelnheim's size, be called very good. The Autobahn A 63 can practically be reached directly through the Biebelnheim interchange and also, through the nearby Autobahnkreuz Alzey (“Alzey Autobahn Cross”). the A 61 is only about 10 km away.
Within Biebelnheim itself, the road transport situation seems quite forbidding, as the municipality has no bypass at its disposal, and drivers from the neighbouring municipalities of Gau-Odernheim and Bechtolsheim must drive through Biebelnheim to reach the aforesaid Autobahnen. The growth in heavy-vehicle traffic through the municipality's narrow streets has given rise to a citizens’ initiative whose goal is to seek to have a bypass built, and also a cycle path to Gau-Odernheim. The expansion of the main road was supposed to happen in 2009.[4][5]
Established businesses
In Biebelnheim can be found a few wineries as well as other agricultural businesses, a bakery, two tire dealers, an automotive dealership and a caravan dealership.
Public institutions
At the municipality's disposal are one kindergarten and the Biebelnheim volunteer fire brigade. Schoolchildren go to primary school in Bechtolsheim or to secondary school in Gau-Odernheim, Alzey or Wörrstadt.
