The main building of the winery is a symmetrical, seven-axis, two-storey building that stands on the eaves on the line of the Weinbergstraße. It has a high hip roof . In the middle, a three-axis wide triangular gable protrudes into the roof, formerly adorned by acroteren and today still with a round window in the gable field. There is a gable dormer on both sides of the gable. A cantilevered, wooden balcony hangs in front of the three middle windows on the upper floor of the street view, which are combined by a canopy, with the entrance to the house underneath. The ground floor facades have vines. On the courtyard side there is a flight of stairs with a groin arch that leads to the door on the ground floor. A large vaulted cellar belongs to the building.

On the upper floor of the core building there are two rooms in front of the ballroom, separated by a half-timbered wall. During the last restoration, baroque versions were found on the walls , which have been painstakingly restored. The individual wall elements carry light blue profiles made from illusion painting on a dusky pink wall with gray shadow backing that surround the wall and base mirror. There are painted garlands in the wall mirrors. The narrow overhang fields contain simple landscape scenes. These wall paintings in the chinoiserie style were created around the same time as the facade frescoes of Pillnitz Castle . It was probably the landlord's summer apartment.

On both sides of the core building are attached wing structures with flatter gable roofs . Another outbuilding is attached at right angles to the right, five-axis wing on the east side. Right next to it, between Haus Hermannsberg and the neighboring Haus Friedeborn, a ravine leads up the mountain. The left wing structure stands like the main structure with its six axes along the street. On the left there is a large, arched economic gate, in front of which a rider stone has been preserved. The door to the right of the gate is protected by a triangular gable roof.

history

On a map by Hans August Nienborg from the year 1714/15, a building is already drawn at the relevant location of the Ballberg , the oldest known owner was the Dresden councilor Klette in 1735. In place of the five-axis building, Lieutenant General von Fröden, owner of 1792 to 1816, around 1800 the current seven-axis central building was built, and the left wing was also built. The middle building was extended by the right annex around 1850 by the merchant Christian Heinrich von Mangelsdorf, owner from 1831 to 1855, and the triangular gable in the middle of the front of the street was probably added, it also got its late Classicist, villa-like appearance.

In 1857 the Zwickau city council, landowner and forest inspector of the royal chamber estate Wiesenburg , Carl Friedrich Rau, bought the winery as a retirement home. His son Hermann Alfred Rau later gave it its current name Hermannsberg . According to another source, Carl Friedrich Rau's heir and grandson Paul Hermann Rau died on the property in 1889. His brother Carl Alfred Rau is said to have christened this part of the larger Ballberg vineyard in his memory of Hermannsberg and the Hermannsberg estate . The building was to remain in family ownership until after 1960.

Viticulture was discontinued due to the consequences of the Saxon phylloxera disaster in 1907, and the former press rooms were converted into apartments. Further renovations took place in 1887 ( Ziller brothers ), 1891 ( FW Eisold construction company ) and 1938/1939.

Since the 1970s the property fell into disrepair, it was sold in 1993 and extensively restored from 1995 onwards in the following ten years. It was also given a corner stone (“theater masks”) by the Radebeul sculptor Detlef Reinemer , a professor at the Dresden University of Fine Arts . Part of the complex now contains apartments, while the other part houses a winery again.

In September 2004 the winery was re-founded under the name Drei Herren von three “Herren” (three men), by the art historian Rainer Beck , at that time still holder of the chair for art history at the Dresden University of Fine Arts and from a family of winemakers, as well as the local winemaker Claus Höhne . The third of the original gentlemen has since left, his position is taken by Antje Wiedemann, the Saxon Wine Queen in 2003 and the German Wine Princess in 2004. Her “… man” in the name encouraged the founders to keep the chosen name.

Today's Drei Herren winery takes up part of the buildings of the Hermannsberg family, including the old, large vaulted cellar. In addition to wine sales, there are also the economic facilities, fermentation tanks and bottling plants. The former stately rooms on the upper floor are used for tastings.

Recently, 1000 m² of vineyard walls have been renovated and the terraces have been prepared for planting, so that further development of the vineyard is possible a good 100 years after the viticulture has been abandoned.

The winery, in addition to his local mountain also the from biotite - granodiorite existing Sörnewitzer pigeons Heimer mountain farms, received more than once the national prize .
