Vineyard cottage

Vineyard cottage surrounded by nature with unique views. In 2024, we decided to renovate this little gem of our grandparents in order to preserve it for future generations. It is located in an extraordinary place – with unobstructed views of the French Vosges, surrounded by vines, embedded in the silence of nature. A place of rest in the middle of the vineyards. The space The Kaiserstuhl – a landscape full of life and history The Kaiserstuhl is a unique cultural landscape, characterized by fertile volcanic rock and nutrient-rich loess soil. These geological features create ideal conditions for a species-rich flora and fauna – and not least for viticulture, which has been cultivated here for centuries. In order to provide the winegrowers with a retreat during their work – be it for lunch or as protection from rain and thunderstorms – numerous so-called vineyard cottages were built between the 1950s and 1970s. These small structures were once a familiar sight in the vineyards. However, with the technical progress and increasing mechanization of viticulture, the requirements for cultivation changed. In the 1970s, large-scale terraces were created as part of land consolidation, which still shape the landscape of the Kaiserstuhl to this day and enable more effective cultivation of the vineyards. In the course of these measures, many of the once typical vineyard cottages disappeared – silent witnesses of a past viticultural culture. Our grandparents' vineyard cottage is one of the few that has survived the test of time – and that's what makes it so special.
