Gayernweg 65

Valley side

The house Gayernweg 65 in Mettingen is a listed former summer house.

History and description

Carl Jakob Christian Weiß had the summer house built in his test vineyard on the Neckarhalde in 1851, where he experimented with grape varieties for sparkling wine production . In the Swabian Mercury of October 4, 1851, the new building, which was named "Weisseck", was reported. On the valley side, the building inscription "Glück und Bless dem Weinbau" can be read. Below, above the cellar entrance, there is the inscription “Built by Carl Weiß” including the year of construction. The two-storey building with a gable roof was built from sandstone blocks, which corresponded to the local building tradition, but shows alpine influences in the form of a protruding overhang of the only slightly inclined roof. It was owned by the Weiß family for more than 150 years, who were the sole owners of the Kessler sparkling wine cellar until 2004 .
