Trullo on the Kautzbaum (Monsheim)

Nice example of a Trullo vineyard, as it is characteristic of this area.“In Germany, between the towns of Flonheim, Erbes-Büdesheim and Siefersheim in Rheinhessen, there are trulli-like rotundas in the vineyards that were built in the 18th century and served as shelters. Popularly they are called "Wingertsheisje" or "s weis Heisje" because they are in the vineyards. ...
There are other trulli in southern Wonnegau (Monsheim-Kriegsheim, Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Wachenheim, Mölsheim, Gundheim and Worms-Pfeddersheim). ...
In honor of the trulli, the trullo cycle tour has been organized in the community of Monsheim (since 1997) and the neighboring community of Bockenheim (since 2007). On the third Sunday in June, almost 20 Trulli are served and approached and hiked on the signposted circular route.
Its construction is attributed to Lombard migrant workers who worked in the Flonheim sandstone quarries between 1720 and 1760. The cones of these trulli are - like their Apulian models - made in a cantilever construction from stones without mortar. The tips also crown keystones with a ball. [1] However, it is also assumed that the trulli could represent the simplest buildings without a conscious model, since the conical construction is a prototype of human dwelling.

One of many small trullos in the area

I took a little rest on the bench. Nice that there is a bench next to most of the trulli. The trulli themselves often have no seating inside and are not very idyllic.
