Tips
An impressive building from a darker era in German history. It's the beginning or end of the German Wine Route and not far from Wissembourg. You can taste and purchase wine right there.

The 18 meter high building has been the symbol of the German Wine Route since 1936.
The idea of the German Wine Gate and the German Wine Route was created in 1935. The aim was to promote tourism and increase the demand for wine during a very difficult phase for viticulture. The wine gate was built in just two months in 1936 and inaugurated on October 18, 1936. The 80-kilometer German Wine Route begins at the German Wine Gate in Schweigen-Rechtenbach and ends in Bockenheim in the north.
