history
The vaulted cellar was used by the Speyer Cathedral Chapter before the French Revolution , which is why the entire property was called Pfaffenhof . The property came to the economist Johann Nicolaus Jacob via the banking family Karcher in 1817 . Both families came from Kaiserslautern and used the Pfaffenhof as a summer house. The cellar was used as a wine cellar and was later divided. The eastern part was acquired by the Bohnenstiel family, who still use it today as the wine cellar of the "Pfaffenhof" winery. The western part also belonged to a winemaking family of the wine village, but it is no longer used for the production and storage of wine.
