Pinkelstein, Historical monument in Raschala, Austria

The Pinkelstein is a granite block from the Waldviertel, set up in 1976 in the Kellergasse of Raschala, a lane of traditional wine cellars along the old post road. A plaque on the stone describes the alleged incident in flowery language.

The monument was established in 1976 by local residents aiming to boost tourism by creating a link to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's literary journey. This creation marked a moment when the community connected its wine heritage with an artistic narrative.

The name alludes to Eduard Mörike's novella "Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag", not to any local wine custom. The stone was set up during Fasching in 1976, and a plaque later added describes the alleged incident in florid language. Every four years the stone hosts a carnival Sunday festival.

The monument is easily accessible and visible year-round, surrounded by operational wine cellars and dining options nearby. Visitors can freely explore the surroundings and walk through the historic cellar buildings in the area.

The granite block was brought from the Waldviertel and set up in the Kellergasse during Fasching 1976, after residents noticed in 1975 that Raschala had no landmark of its own. The idea came from Eduard Mörike's novella Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag, not from any documented event.
