Haiselscher
The Palatine dialect word the Haiselscher described initially only the small wine bars in half-timbered optics that each year between the last Friday in September and the second Sunday in October as a wine village on the station forecourt of Neustadt on the Wine Route are set up. In connection with the German Wine Festival , they invite you to stop off one week before the start of this second largest German wine festival .
In the meantime, the name Haiselscher is no longer used solely for the location, but also for the pre- and accompanying party itself, which originally had no name of its own.
Surname
The Haiselscher is the Palatine plural for high German the house . Strictly speaking, it is even a double diminutive , as it typically occurs frequently in Palatinate; Translated literally into High German would be the screwed shape of the little houses . The Palatine singular is ' s Haisel - the little house .
history
Until 1940, into the Second World War , wine was served in small wooden stalls on the Neustadt station forecourt during the German wine harvest festival . On the occasion of the 1959 vintage, classified as a wine of the century , the local association Die Feucht-Fröhlichen Neustadter (FFN) developed the idea of replacing the association's previous bar on the station forecourt with a winegrower's house from the 1960 German vintage festival . Without the prefabricated modules used today, the construction by volunteers took half a year from March 1960. A total of 3,100 working hours were performed over 60 days and the wood of two demolished urban barracks was used. The financing cost around 5500 DM , which corresponds to around 12,819 euros based on today's purchasing power. The FFN's winegrower's house, which was operated for the first time in 1960, was immediately named Haisel by the visitors and in the same year it was joined by two other similar buildings.
properties
The Haiselschers are a festival that primarily serves to eat and drink. The Haiselscher hosts are largely recruited from the ranks of the Neustadt clubs. They offer specialties from the Palatinate such as onion tart , saumag , “Läwwerknepp” , bratwurst or kettle meat , but above all the new wine . This is mainly drunk as a Federweißer and served as a real bottle in a half- liter glass . While at other festivals in the region this mostly happens in the well-known Palatinate Dubbeglas ("dab glass"), the Haiselscher predominantly, but not exclusively, uses the cylindrical shape of the Palatinate pint glass.
In addition to food and drink, the wine village also offers music and entertainment; On the program stage, a radio station with numerous solo artists and groups presents a varied stage program.
The Haiselschers benefit from their central location at the main train station. On the one hand, this means easy accessibility; on the other hand, the lack of residential development around the station forecourt means that there are no disruptions to residents due to the festival. During the first construction in 1960, after a local resident reported the FFN for "disturbing the holiday peace", the police ensured that the construction work was interrupted on the holiday of Ascension Day .
