Wine? From Klein Kreutz? Yes, communion wine for the Brandenburg Cathedral was grown here since ancient times. It didn't have to be Baden's sunny weather! The street names "Alte Weinberge" and "Neue Weinberge" (Old and New Vineyards) still commemorate this fact. The current church is a neo-Romanesque new building from 1868, replacing the previous church from the pre-Reformation period. The church tower was added to the old masonry (monastery format) and raised.
