German Wine Gate, Gate building in Schweigen-Rechtenbach, Germany
The German Wine Gate reaches a height of 18 meters and features pink sandstone facades combined with timber structures in a neoclassical design pattern.
Built in 1936 after winning an architectural competition, the gate underwent modifications in 1945 to remove symbols associated with the National Socialist period.
The gate marks the beginning of the German Wine Route, connecting numerous wine-growing municipalities across the Palatinate region of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Visitors can explore the wine education path established in 1969 and sample regional wines at the restaurant operated by local wine growers.
The structure spans a road at the northern edge of Schweigen, with bollards now blocking vehicle access, requiring pedestrians to navigate around.
