A vineyard or site in the municipality of Göttlesbrunn and the cadastral municipality of Arbesthal in the Carnuntum wine-growing region of Lower Austria. The name goes back to the word "Schotter" (gravel-bearing loose sediments), which was "filled in" by the Danube over the course of time. At 278 metres above sea level, the Schüttenberg is the highest elevation in the Arbesthaler Hügelland. The south-facing vineyards are bordered by a forest to the west. In addition to gravel, the soils also consist of a considerable proportion of clay, as well as a limestone layer in the west.

The main red wine varieties grown here are Merlot, St. Laurent and Zweigelt, as well as the white wine varieties Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Grüner Veltliner. A special feature is the largest Central European colony of the colourful bird species "bee-eater" (Merops apiaster). The Grassl Philipp, Markowitsch Gerhard, Markowitsch Lukas, Netzl Franz, Oppelmayer, Pimpel and Taferner Franz wineries, for example, have shares in the vineyard.
