Römisches Weingut Weilberg

Interesting reconstruction of a Roman vineyard ruin - the reconstruction is based on the former foundation walls.

A little below the Roman winery there is the Roman wine press.

Even the Romans enjoyed the fantastic view from this beautiful place. The remains of a Roman villa, which was once part of a huge complex, was uncovered in 1981 and partially restored. Below the ruin is a wine press, in which wine is still today. Every summer, the popular wine festival takes place here at the Römerkelter.

Here on the Weilberg there was a large estate (Villa Rustica) in Roman times. The place had already been settled by the Celts. The Roman complex was built around 20 AD. It is one of the largest of its kind in the Palatinate.
In addition to wine, grain was also grown: the 7.5 hectare farm had a wine press and a grain kiln. There were stables, stores and workshops, a pottery and a blacksmith shop. The whole yard was surrounded by a wall. The villa reached its greatest extent in the early 4th century. The main building at that time had a front length of over 100 meters. Around 352 AD the manor was destroyed during the Alemanni invasions and only managed on a smaller scale.

Beautiful in every season and the remains of the wall offer many opportunities for a picnic.

Very well preserved old wine press

The reconstruction of the Roman winery is very suitable to bring the local history and history closer to children. They explore the area through play, and the questions arise by themselves. Information boards provide information on many questions. It couldn't be better.
You can also have a picnic there.
