Viticulture was of great importance. In 1153 the name of what is still called the vineyard, northeast of the village of Börnecke, was mentioned for the first time. For example, the wine was delivered to the Counts of Regenstein and the Abbess of Quedlinburg.

Even before reunification, Matthias Kirman planted a first vineyard with 400 vines on the prominent Königstein in Westerhausen. Until 1994, some of the grapes were used for personal use, but the majority were given to the cooperative in Freyburg (Saxony-Anhalt).
