Back then, it was the mild climate that convinced the Romans to grow wine within sight of the Annaberg. During excavations in 1979, the Roman Weilberg vineyard was discovered, which is considered to be the oldest known vineyard in the world. This can be visited today and is just a few minutes' walk from Annaberg.
In 1545, a brickworks was mentioned and operated on the site of today's Annaberg. The old firing chambers with their glazed surfaces still exist today in our "Alte Ziegelei" cellar and can be booked for events. Georg Kochenburger and Louis Wolf, who bought the old brickworks at auction in 1804, were granted the first licence to serve wine. The foundation of the winery and the opening of the pub date back to this year.
