Historischer Ortskern Winningen

The Weinhexbrunnen, surrounded by a half-timbered ensemble, alludes to the witch hunts in the 17th century. Above the village on the witches' hill, the currently oldest known monument from 1925 to the victims of the witch hunts recalls this time. The Romanesque alleys and the picturesque half-timbered houses are decorated with flowers and vines and invite you to stroll around. Through the narrow winding streets you will come across a still well-preserved horn gate, which is a testimony to the former 6 town gates, as well as the market square. The winegrowers produce excellent Riesling wines in the steep vineyard terraces with slate-covered soils. On steeply towering vineyard terraces the noble Riesling grape grows and finds here optimal conditions. Numerous restaurants and winegrowers' taverns invite you to stop for a bite to eat. The winegrowing village was several times winner of village competitions such as "Our village has a future" and boasts to be one of the most beautiful villages in Germany. Winningen is also very well known for the "Winninger Moselfest", the oldest wine festival in Germany, as well as its landmark, the "Winninger Weinhex".
