The wine tavern goes back to the distiller Friedrich habenberg, who produced spirits in the city from 1853 . The company is listed in the company cadastre of the place in 1867 as the “habenberg liquor factory”. In 1877, the daughter of the distillery Marie Diesberg married the skipper Louis Winkelmann, whose name the wine bar still bears today (2016). In the beginning, self-made products such as spirits, fruit wines, vinegar and lemonades were sold. A wine tavern was set up behind the shop where customers could enjoy drinks . In 1897 the shop was given a shop window. In 1936 the front door was extended to a gate entrance. Since 1950 there have been wall paintings in the wine tavern with "Mündener originals ", including Wilhelm Lotze . From the 1950s to the 1990s, the Weinstube used the nearby Mündener Destille building as a wine and spirits store.

Wine history in Hann. Münden

Wine trade and viticulture have a long tradition in Hann. Münden. Since the Middle Ages , wine came to the city through the transport of goods on the rivers Fulda , Werra and Weser in connection with the Mündener Stapelrecht .

Urban viticulture took place from the 15th century on cleared forest areas around Münden, as documented by the city's revenue records. The vineyards were on the Galgenberg and Vogelsang as well as on the Blümer Berg . Viticulture was also carried out on the steep southern slope of the Questenberg, producing a wine called Questenberger . It was first mentioned in a document in 1390 as a remarkably good wine. There is a description from 1545 in which the 1540 vintage of the Questenberger from the ducal vineyard on the “sunny side of the Questenberg” is described as “so excellent” that it was preferred to foreign wines. He was on the menu for the wedding of Duke Erich II and Sidonie von Sachsen in 1545 in the Welfenschloss Münden . Around 1900 there were a few wine merchants below the Questenberg.

In addition to the Louis Winkelmann wine tavern, there were other wine taverns, such as the Schillingsche Weinstube, which had existed since around 1870, and the Altdeutsche Weinstube , both on the market square.
