The Wengertschützenhütte served to provide accommodation for the Wengertschützen, who often spent the night at the vineyard. The Wengertschützen ("vineyard shooters") had the task of preventing birds from "stealing" grapes. This was accomplished using ratchets or blank guns.
There is also a break bench here.

A really nice and neat example of a refuge. But there are also such constructions in the lowlands where there are no vineyards
