Haus der Deutschen Weinstraße

Haus der Deutschen Weinstraße is an architectural structure spanning Bundesstraße 271, with its eastern wing functioning as a bridge connecting two parts of town. The building integrates a 120-seat restaurant and exhibition spaces focused on regional wine production within its design.

The structure was completed in 1995 and marks the northern starting point of the German Wine Route. This designation connects it to the German Wine Gate founded in Schweigen in 1936, creating bookends for this famous wine touring route.

The on-site wine tavern restaurant serves regional dishes that reflect local farming traditions, while displays show how grapes have been processed in the area for generations. Visitors can taste food and wine together, experiencing how both are woven into daily life here.

Visitors can get detailed information about local vineyards, wine tastings, and guided tours at the Tourist Information center inside. The location on a main road makes it easy to access, and the bridge design helps you move between different parts of town while exploring.

The Tower Room offers views of the Haardt Mountains and vineyards beyond, while the restaurant terrace extends over an artificial pond. This arrangement lets visitors enjoy their meal while taking in the surrounding wine country landscape.
