The prestigious, fifteenth-century building used to serve a function of a wine warehouse, which is referred to by its name. Weinstadel is adjacent to the historic Wasserturm water tower and a covered sandstone bridge connecting the building with a small island, where the marketplace known as Trödelmarkt was located in the Middle Ages. Today Weinstadel houses a hall of residence.
