The slopes of what is now the Trachenberge district were cultivated for viticulture as early as the Middle Ages .

The Spiegler house is the only remaining vineyard house in Trachenberg.

At first it was called "Drachenberg" and not "Trachenberge" according to a military discharge document from 1818.
The Spiegler house
history
The Spiegler'sche Haus was built on a vineyard that had been laid out for the Electoral Chamber Councilor Wolf von Werthern at the end of the 17th century. After Count Nikolaus von Maxen had parted a separate part of the Werthern vineyard at the beginning of the 18th century, the grounds of the Spiegler house were also called Max's vineyards.
The first parts of the property were built from 1738 to 1743 under the direction of Nikolaus von Maxen. Today the foundation walls, the cellar and the outbuildings have been preserved from this period. In 1746 the complex passed to the electoral provisions manager Christian Friedrich Gärtner, who had the main house converted into the two-story mansion that still exists today . After numerous changes of ownership, the property passed to Hofrat Gotthold Opitz, who had the house rebuilt in neo-Rococo style in 1895 and added side buildings. “The country house, which was previously very simple, was given a castle-like appearance.” Opitz used the house as a summer residence. The property became the property of the Opitz daughters. After 1990 Gottfried Spiegler, Bertram Spiegler and Detlev Freiherr von Hammerstein-Loxten inherited the property. The house and outbuildings were renovated in the 1990s. Apartments have been set up in the manor and gardener's house today.
