Nollen Winery

Originally the Wilhelm Haussmann Winery in the Breucker Villa, subsequently Nollen Winery, now in private ownership.

The architect Bruno Möhring built the Art Nouveau villa in 1904 for the grammar school teacher Gustav Breucker, who, as Maria Haussmann’s spouse, took over the business of his father-in-law Wilhelm Haussmann following his death, and went on to become one of the leading representatives of the wine trade and a staunch supporter of the fusion of the two districts of Traben and Trarbach. A freeman of the town, he died in 1939.

The residence then passing to Carl Freiherr von Ritter Zahony and his wife Else, a Breucker by birth, it was subsequently purchased by the Nollen family, cellar included, in 1957.

In line with the importance of the wine trade at the time, three long tunnel vaults arranged parallel to each other and connected by transverse passages may be found beneath the villa. The coopers’ entrance was located on Wilhelmstraße. A fourth and smaller cellar with an asymmetric layout is situated to the west beneath the garden adjoining the villa. This cellar boasts one massive sandstone supporting pillar at its centre.
