The Schaeferwarte was built by the Drachenfels Club in 1929-30 in honour of Ökonomierat Karl Schaefer on the edge of the Halsberg forest.

The structure was inaugurated on 13.7.1930 and offers beautiful views of the town of Bad Dürkheim and the vineyards.

The Schaeferwarte was built by the Drachenfels Club in the years 1929-30 in honor of Councilor Karl Schaefer at the edge of the Halsberg forest. The structure was inaugurated on July 13, 1930, and offers beautiful views of the city of Bad Dürkheim and the vineyards.


The winery owner Karl Schaefer (1849-1931) was chairman of the Drachenfels Club for 32 years. In 1927, he stepped down from his position. Karl Schaefer was involved in the founding of the Drachenfels Club. Selflessly, he was continuously active in the service of his hometown for over 50 years. A great deal happened at his suggestion and under his responsibility. One of his major contributions as the first chairman was the construction of the Bismarck Tower, which incurred extraordinarily high costs for that time.
