    "The Eichhäusel was built in 1896 on the eastern flank of the city wall. Here, wine merchants and winegrowers mainly had the wooden containers used for the grape harvest [Stütze, Logel, Zuber, Lotte] "oaked" under the supervision of officially appointed master gaugers. [...] The Eichhäusel was used until the mid-1970s. Since then, the quantities of grapes delivered are no longer determined by litres, but by weight."

    In front of the Eichhäusel stands the work of art "Ohrschnecke" by the sculptor Gernot Rumpf from 2019 (private donation). There is a bench right on the sidewalk.
