Ingelfinger Fass

The barrel-shaped wine museum near Ingelfingen in Baden-Württemberg is the second largest wooden barrel in Germany after the Dürkheimer barrel. The building, initiated by the Ingelfingen entrepreneur Fritz Müller, was completed in 2002. The self-supporting barrel construction of laminated wood panels with solid oak panelling was placed on a stone substructure 300 metres above sea level in the vineyards above Ingelfingen. A wine nature trail leads directly past the museum. Inside, historical wine growing equipment and the metal figure of a winegrower are displayed on two levels. The barrel is open twice a year for the Open Day; it can also be rented for parties. It is 9.4 metres high, 18 metres wide and 13.2 metres deep. The barrel body is 7 metres high, 14.75 metres wide and 8.8 metres deep. The volume is 716.5 cubic metres, which corresponds to 716,500 litres. See also a list under largest barrel in the world.
