Assmannshausen

Assmannshausen is a wine producing locality in Rüdesheim am Rhein with vineyards covering steep slopes along the Rhine riverbanks. The terraced vineyards rise to about 149 meters in elevation across the hillsides.

The first documented mention came in 1108 when Archbishop Ruthard of Mainz granted a vineyard to Disibodenberg Monastery in the area then called Hasemanneshusen. This marked the beginning of the documented wine-growing tradition here.

Local wineries focus on producing Spätburgunder red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes. These red wines stand apart from the white wines that dominate in the neighboring Rheingau region.

A chairlift from the town center connects to the Jagdschloss Niederwald and numerous hiking trails in the surrounding area. Sturdy footwear is recommended for navigating the steep terrain.

The Hessische Staatsweingüter Kloster Eberbach operates around 23 hectares of vineyards in the Höllenberg area focused on red wine production. This is notable because red wine production is uncommon in this region.
