The Mannebach wine press from 1881 Source: Text information board

Wine press:
The wine press is a press for the production of wine and juice. (Pressing "Calcare‘ "= trampling with the feet) the fruits were chopped, ground and then pressed. The stone is from the Keuper period and was quarried in a quarry "In der Steinkaul" in Mannebach.

Origin :
The term Keuper refers to a section of the earth's history more than 200 million years ago. Marl, sand and clay were deposited in Central Europe. Keuper means colorful in Low German.

Editing :
At the place where they were found, the stones were cut into flour and winepress stones by stonemasons. The keuper was also used as a building material for houses, churches and crossroads.

Transport:
The sandstone, which weighed tons, was transported with great difficulty on a sledge or horse-drawn vehicle.

Viez:
Fermented apple juice. It wasn't the Romans who gave us the apple wine, no, the old Germanic tribes already made an "eplitranc" from "epli" or "oeppel".

Vicevinum:
A wine substitute, a cheap drink for the poor. Records show that the Viez was still called Drank in the region in 1765. The cultivation of apple trees in the region was promoted during the Napoleonic period. The result was "cider". The Viez is made from beans, Erbacher, Porzen, red and white Trier meadow apples and Rambouhr. The good juice is also used to make brandy and apple cider vinegar.

Elixir of life:
Viez drunk in moderation is a healthy drink with a fluid-releasing effect. It promotes digestion, strengthens blood circulation, stabilizes blood pressure and prevents stomach and intestinal diseases.
