single vineyard in the municipality of Sausenheim (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. The name is derived from a shelter that stood on the former connecting path from Neuleiningen to Grünstadt. The single vineyard Honigsack adjoins to the west. The vineyards, which lie at an altitude of 180 to 240 metres above sea level, are about 40% sloping and 20% steep, and cover about 35 hectares of vineyards on predominantly clay soil. The main grape variety grown here is Riesling. The Fluch-Gaul, Gaul Karl-Heinz and Schenk-Siebert wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
