single vineyard (also "An dem Kirchtürmchen") in the municipality of Bad Neuenahr in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The name is possibly derived from the chapel estates with their towers located in the old wine villages of Hemmessen, Beul and Wadenheim or from the good view of the church tower of the old Catholic church in Neuenahr from the location. It is bordered to the west by the Daubhaus site and to the east by the Schieferlay site. A considerable part of the historic site was sacrificed to a motorway feeder road, which now cuts through the site.
The south-east to south-west facing vineyard at 120 to 160 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 40% now only covers nine hectares of vines. The very varied soils consist of greywacke, greywacke slate, loess, loess loam, hanging loam and slate, which are covered with a thick layer of clay and humus. The Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser and Domina varieties are cultivated here. The Deutzerhof, Kreuzberg and Lingen Peter wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
