View of the Klosterhof in Wildentierbach
Highlight • Historical Site
The monastery gardens were to the right and left of the bridge at the level of the stream.
The parsonage was built in a corner of the monastery garden.
The way to the Rothenburger Land was through the barn (belonging to the Gasthaus Hirsch).
At the exit of the barn was the customs house.

Habel Family Memorial
Highlight • Monument
The parents had 7 children and there a farm (today Ehnes riding stable).
The house stood where the stables are today.
Both completed an apprenticeship as a brewer in Ansbach.
Johann Simon Habel, a trained brewer and cooper, became the king's cellar master. Together (Johann Simon and Johann Georg) they founded the HABEL Weinhaus on June 8, 1779, Unter den Linden 30.
Thanks to excellent wines and hospitality, it quickly established itself as Prussia's tasting room and in 1824 received the title of purveyor to the royal court.
For more than 42 years, the wine shop Gebrüder Habel rendered loyal service to the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II as cellar master.
Six subsequent generations, including Habel's grandson Heinrich (1809-1866), great-grandson Heinrich Simon Carl (1837-1887) and great-great-grandson Wilhelm Simon Heinrich (1873-1945) continued to own the wine tavern. They expanded the house, which was known to be simple but elegant, and remodeled it several times.
The HABEL Weinhaus experienced the change in power of kings and chancellors, two world wars and the division of the city. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the former HABEL am Roseneck, close to where it was originally founded, withdrew as HABEL am Reichstag.

View of the Gatekeeper's House
Highlight • Historical Site
The tower stood on the side of the road. Only the gate went over the road. The suspension points of the gate can still be seen today.
The village had 3 gate towers.
As early as 1792, only 2 towers were marked on a map.
The 3rd tower, in the Rothenburg region, had already been demolished.
On Napoleon's orders, the towers in the Landwehr were demolished.
This means that we must assume that both towers were demolished around 1806.
It is possible that stones from the tower were used for the tower keeper's house.
