More model informationThe old wine press was set up in 1994 in front of the entrance to Bockfließ and restored in 2014. This type of wine press is called “Baumkelter”.
You like to drink wine and you want to know how it has been made since Roman times?
To operate the “Baumkelter” several servants were required. In the first step you had to open the winepress tree by lowering the heavy stone to the ground. Then grapes were poured on the press and covered with beams. Then the servants turned up the heavy stone at the end of the winepress tree by moving the thread up the spindle. The stone hung in the air and pushed down the heavy logs of the winepress tree. The pressure generated barely beat the modern presses that use compressed air.
