The unfinished Heisje
The Wingertsheisje was probably built in 1918 and expanded in 1967 with the construction of the gable wall.
The Wingert was originally a quarry in the southern area, the Heisje eventually served as a shelter for the workers. In the 60s, the pit was filled and created as Wingert.
In 2019, the sundial was put into operation.

History / Stories / Anecdotes:
The Wingert was a quarry of the Hirsch family until the 1960s.
The first Wingertsheisje was built by Rudolf Hirsch, apparently as a shelter for his workers in the quarry.
After the quarry was filled up and created as Wingert, he bought the estate Grünewald.
Julius Grünewald was the one who enlarged the Heisje. Using Baroque elements, he continued to expand Heisje. He set up the gable and wanted to install a sundial at the top. Unfortunately, this was not completed - the plate is still in his yard.
A bench and a table were to be built behind the gable, but even this work remained unfinished.
