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.

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.

The outdoor area of the Roman winery Weilberg is freely accessible. The interiors are only accessible with a tour guide as part of a guided tour.

Roman winery Weilberg
Almost 2,000 years ago, the main house is said to have had an enormous front length of 150 m. When you look through the three imposing, reconstructed columns, the panorama of vineyards, the Palatinate Forest, the city and the Rhine plain opens up. When the weather is nice, you can see as far as the Black Forest.
Below the villa is a functioning Roman pedal press, in which wine is still “trampled” today.
