The exemplary contribution to active village renewal and the outstanding personal commitment qualify the owners of the Himmelacker winegrower's hotel in Alzey-Dautenheim for the award in the "Art and Culture" category. In 1993, not only was a stylish winery hotel built within the traditional walls of the Bernhard Storr winery, which was awarded a prize by the German Tourism Association for its professional management.

"With its theater barn and newly built open-air stage, the winegrowing family promotes art and culture in the Rheinhessen region in an outstanding manner with numerous performances and cultural events throughout the year," was the unanimous verdict of the expert jury. The atmosphere is appealing and authentic, and the cultural offerings demonstrate professionalism.
