Wine village Ernst

Highlight • Settlement

The wine village Ernst is with its many small winegrowers and ostrich-economies a very worth seeing village. Just in the evening you can see many people sitting in the small restaurants and establishments to enjoy the wine that is grown there. A wine tasting is also possible at many farms. We made ours on this holiday at the winery Schleyer Göbel. The winery offers a guided tour of the historic wine cellar every day, and on Wednesdays this tour also takes you through the vineyards, where you will learn about winegrowing.

View of Beilstein and Metternich Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

History (for those who are interested :-)

Franconian grave finds show Beilstein's settlement around 800 AD. The place had been a feudal possession of the Lords of Braunshorn since 1268. Under Johann von Braunshorn (1299–1346), Beilstein received city privileges from King Henry VII in 1309 and was fortified. A Jewish community has been documented since 1309, and its Jewish cemetery above the castle still exists today. The former parish church was founded in 1310. After the von Braunshorn family died out, the fief passed to the von Winneburg family in 1360. After Kurtrier took possession of Beilstein in 1488, the Imperial Counts of Metternich enfeoffed the rule of Winneburg and Beilstein in 1652. In 1689, Metternich Castle (“The Proud Walls”) was destroyed by French troops. A Carmelite monastery was founded in 1636 (abolished in 1803), and the foundation stone of the Carmelite monastery church was laid in 1691, which was completed in 1783. The townscape was created in the 17th and 18th centuries and has largely been preserved to this day. The rule of the Imperial Counts of Metternich ended in 1794 with the occupation by French revolutionary troops. From 1798 to 1814 the place belonged to the canton of Zell in the Rhine-Moselle department and was the main town of a Mairie. In 1815 the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna and belonged to the Senheim mayor's office in the Zell district. It has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946.
