Tourists are ripped off here. I would not buy wine here. Maybe a prejudice, but only maybe.

The "German Wine Gate" was built in 1936 and marks the beginning of the German Wine Route in the south. The counterpart is at the northern end of the Wine Route - 85 km away - the "House of the German Wine Route" in Bockenheim.

Personally, I like Wissenbourg better, but the German Wine Route is also very beautiful, and this is where it starts.

The German Wine Gate, a listed landmark of the Palatinate, marks the southern beginning of the German Wine Route.

The wine gate is a striking landmark in the architecture typical of the time. Historically interesting for me is the eagle on the southern side, which is holding an oak wreath in its claws, in which the swastika was once found. Just below, at about eye level, is the outline of Texas carved into the sandstone. I can imagine that it was an American GI after the end of the war.

Bernd Pfeffer runs his umbrella bar right at the Weintor. I call it the sprinkler umbrella. It is definitely worth taking a break here. Strengthening included here. Who was there is excited, who drives past is your own fault!

If, like us, you have 60km in Alsace on your legs and come from Wissembourg, the German Wine Gate in Schweigen is the ideal place to strengthen yourself. The offer there is good. Of course, silence offers a lot. But if you drive past Bernd Pfeffer's spritzer umbrella, it's your own fault. Good atmosphere, a smile from the host, suitable food and a selection of the finest drinks. This gives pure motivation for the way home.
