The Two-Room Heisje
This Heisje is made of rubble stones and bricks in "Reich format." It consists of bricks (Reichsziegeln) standardized by law (1872) with a fixed size of 24cm x 12cm x 6.5cm. The rear room is a pure earth room.
Architecturally noteworthy is also the entrance door with the additional transom window.
Today, this gem is maintained by the Wittmann Winery. On the bench right next to the Heisje, one can enjoy peace and the indescribable view.
Height: 231
Parcel: "Im Kelterstein"
Interesting Facts:
The Wingertsheisje was designed as a Two-Room Heisje. The question is, or rather the assumption, that it was to be built in two phases. The door opening faces south.
The rear room is a pure earth room.
The two rooms are separated by a wall, with a door opening. The front room consists of bricks and is plastered. A massive concrete lintel was poured and installed as a lintel. However, it cannot be proven whether it was installed later. Through the "transom window," a gable peak is visible at the back. Again, no statement can be made about whether it belonged to a previous Heisje.
What is extraordinary is definitely the rear room, as it seemingly was built into the earth. Or were the stones of an existing Heisje removed?
History / Stories / Anecdotes:
The Wittmann Winery maintains this gem and has specially placed a bench right next to it, so the hiker can pause in peace and enjoy the indescribable view.
A particular concern of the winemaker is that the dry walls are also newly built or repaired. To the left of the door, even gravestones have been built in as support walls.
