description

The ensemble of wineries, which has been a listed building since 1936, consists of the tower house on the street corner, the villa-like country house in the east, ancillary buildings, the enclosure and the vineyard. The property was already presented in detail by the art historian Gurlitt in his fundamental inventory in 1904 , as well as in the Dehio rapid inventory of 1905 . The ensemble was also a listed building during the GDR era .

Tower house

The actual tower house consists of the originally rectangular winegrower's house with a hipped roof and gable dormers instead of the former drag dormers, as well as the wing structure with hipped roof and the attached tower, which was later added to the north. A massive, plastered ground floor stands above the cellar vaults, while the upper floor and the tower are half-timbered structures, also plastered. The plaster bears illusion painting . On the left side of the main view there is a portal arched in front of it with a triangular gable. The tower comes out of the roof, it has an octagonal cross-section with a top that is also octagonal. On the top there is a weather vane in the shape of a Fortuna and with a monogram. There is a single-hand clock in the tower itself .

Country house

In front of the eaves side in the courtyard there is a central projectile with a triangular gable. The plastered building with sandstone integration and jam-mock painting has echoes of the Swiss style .

Listed ancillary systems are also listed on the property.

The winery is located on the estate of the former Weckische Hohenberge , which was already cultivated in the 16th century , later also called Ossenfeldscher Weinberg . There a two-storey winegrower's house with wine cellar and press room was built around 1650 on what was then Hausgasse , today's Weinbergstrasse, which today forms the south wing of the tower house (to the right of the tower) along Weinbergstrasse. Guests and horses were quartered here at wine festivals on the Hoflößnitz , with which there is a line of sight. The building is shown on a map by Hans August Nienborg from 1715.

The north wing was built around 1720 and a wine cellar was also added along today's Hoflößnitzstraße. The octagonal corner tower was built on the corner of the building, originally with a three-part lantern .

In 1727 the land clerk Johann Joachim Ossenfeld bought the estate, who in 1750 installed a clockwork with a bell in the tower. His family sold the property in 1785 to the Dresden merchant Johann Martin Kühn, who sold it in 1792 to the court printer Carl Christian Meinhold , after whom it is still named today. The monogram “CM” on the weather vane, which is trained as a grape-bearing Fortuna , can be traced back to him. He had the facade redesigned in the late Baroque style and laid out a baroque garden on the property , which later became a park-like garden. Around 1800 he built the gate entrance with two baroque sandstone putti, summer and winter .

Even after Meinhold's death in 1827, his family remained on the estate. After renovations in 1842, the tower had to be dismantled to today's double lantern in 1844 after a lightning strike. In the following time the south portal was bricked up. Around 1853, the Gottfried Semper pupil Carl Eduard Johne built the villa-like country house in the Tuscan style, which forms the end of the courtyard to the east, and inside a garden hall with historical painting that is preserved today. The fountain house to the north was connected to the Straken water pipe .

Until his death in 1915, the property belonged to the sculptor August Flockemann , and in 1925 his widow.

In 1936 the ensemble was placed under a preservation order. In 1937 and 1938, the Meinholdschen vineyard was revived after the phylloxera disaster . After another lightning strike in 1942, the tower was repaired again. Between 1964 and 1968 the necessary security measures to preserve the building were carried out.

The master builder Ulrich Aust acquired the property from the last descendants of Meinhold in 1975 and renovated it extensively in the 1980s, which also resulted in today's illusionistic facade structure. Since the 1990s, after Ulrich Aust's death, one of his sons has been running a full-time winery there, the Karl Friedrich Aust winery, which cultivates around 4.5 hectares of vineyards in Radebeul, 80% of which is white wine. The formerly bricked up south portal on the corner has been reopened, and behind it is the wine bar on the ground floor of the tower house. The estate's wines are stored in barrique barrels and steel tanks in the sandstone vaulted cellars. With an average crop yield of 30-40 hl / ha it produces wines from the grape varieties Pinot Blanc , Pinot Gris , Muller-Thurgau , Riesling , Kerner , Bacchus , Traminer and Pinot Noir .

The owner of the listed Meinhold tower house , the Aust family, received the Radebeul client award in 2007 in the category of listed building renovation . The tower house is one of five buildings in Radebeul that received direct funding from the German Foundation for Monument Protection (as of 2016: House Fly Wedel , Mohrenhaus , Meinholdsches Turmhaus, House Lorenz , Radebeul Ost cultural station ).
