Ulrich Treitz Winery

Originally the Rudowsky & Sartor Winery, subsequently Wilhelm Müller, Carl Müller, now Ulrich Treitz, Schottstraße

At the turn of the last century, the Rudowsky & Sartor Winery was built on Schottstraße and entered in the Royal Trade Register of Trarbach in 1893. It had a storage capacity of approximately 400 tuns.

The cellars are arranged around the large courtyard and the adjacent production premises. Beneath the latter are four parallel barrel vaults. One of them features three concrete tanks installed on the hill side in 1956 to increase storage capacity. Opposite these tanks a staircase leads down into a lower cellar to the side, with two additional barrel vaults beneath the yard running parallel to Schottstraße. Access to an older cellar was blocked when the street was widened.

In 1905 the building was purchased by the town and was used as a "Russenlager" (POW camp for Russians) during the First World War. In 1924 the town sold the site to the Winery Rumpel & Cie, wine merchant Josef Schmitz used the premises until 1939. In the same year Carl Müller moved from Wildbadstraße to Schottstraße and ran his wine business here. In 1969 Carl Wilhelm Müller took over his parents’ company and managed it until 1990. Since 2001 the cellars have been used by Ulrich Treitz for his organic Winery.
