The annual grape harvest took place on September 13th. This time a bit earlier than planned, but it was high time to bring in the grapes. The late summer rain and hail had quite an impact on the vines. The harvest was therefore not as plentiful as usual, with 500 liters of red and 750

On September 12, 2025, the time had come. The all-day Schneggen anniversary celebration, which Ernst and Robert had been planning for a long time, was held. The number of participants was very good and everyone was excited about what was to come. The meeting point was very early at 8:45 a.m. in the parking lot

Tonight, our snail house was once again attacked by vandals! Leaving your trash behind wasn’t enough. Of course, they also had to climb onto our château roof and leave their legacy there! We warn you again! The property is private property! Anyone harmed is responsible for themselves, or parents are responsible for their children! Since

There was a lot to celebrate again during the March deployment! President Gerd N. invited us for champagne to celebrate his wedding anniversary, much to the delight of Uwe D., who celebrated his wedding anniversary on the same day! We sang a birthday song to our member Ernst G. in absentia, and last but not

This year, unfortunately, we had to break with the long tradition of holding the celebration with a previous general meeting in Harxheim at Christine Bernhard’s house; unfortunately the property is no longer available to us. The presidents have found a wonderful new location for this, the farmer’s café Zum Fruchtspeicher in Sippersfeld. The journey was

There were two premieres at the August work assignment this year! On the one hand, the excellently prepared Wingert feast, as always, was eaten directly in front of the kitchen stove under the beautiful, shady chestnut tree, and on the other hand, our “cook” Kirsten held a first cooking course for members! As always, the

In July 24, the time had finally come! Our new Schnegge member Tobias Robelek (in the picture in the middle with a light-colored sweater), industrial mechanic at Südzucker, was accepted as a new member of the association in an extraordinary general meeting. We are not only pleased that the number of members has now reached

… remind you that our vineyard, including the château, is our private property! We are happy to tolerate guests who don’t get rowdy and take their rubbish back with them. Unfortunately, this is increasingly not the case! It is a great pity that some black sheep (or rather “non-socially-minded” people) disfigure our jewel!
The first work assignment in 2024 took place without snow. As always, the Schneggen did their best to prune the vines, not without the usual excellent food from the vineyard kitchen provided by Kirsten. Our amateur photographer Gerd N. then took some interesting snapshots after the snowfall in January, a small selection of which can
