In summer, the beer garden set up in front of the Wichtel invites you to take a break and linger. Until then, you can also sit outside in the courtyard at the Wichtel when the weather is good.

The tower spire impressively enlivens the mighty structure. The simple half-timbering is striking due to its ornamental clarity. The half-timbering is decorated with diamond motifs and curved bands. Fachwerkstock and gable floors of today's town hall were added in 1687 on the renovated walls of a wine press. This was already documented in 1541 and in turn formed the ground floor of a previous town hall. This predecessor building from the period 1590 - 1599 burned down – just like St. John's Church – in the Thirty Years' War (1643). The predecessor building was probably erected between 1590 and 1599. A partially preserved year number on the southern round arch portal supports this assumption. A wine press with two beams to be maintained by the Duke and a house above it has been documented since 1541. A "beam" is understood to be a long, horizontal piece of wood used to turn the spindle of the grape press. The building erected around 1590 was therefore already the successor to an earlier building that existed at this location. Information about the reconstruction in 1687 is provided by a wooden plaque above the main entrance. This inscription with the letters "SHSSR" and "BIW" suggests the then mayor Jakob Schmalzried and the then mayor Jakob Wetzel. The carpenter's tools depicted below and the designation "MW" indicate the carpenter, who is no longer known by name. The number "1687" indicates the year of construction. The offices were located densely packed above the wine press. Since 1728, they were accessible via an external staircase, which replaced a steep staircase inside. This staircase was removed in 1884. Until the renovation in 1956 and 1957, six oak columns supported the ceiling of the wine press floor. They were removed, and an intermediate ceiling and a curved internal staircase were installed. This created a new intermediate floor with offices, which is externally recognizable by the newly added row of windows. Since the municipal reform in 1975, the Münchingen town hall has been the seat of the Münchingen administrative office. The citizen service, the Münchingen registry office, and the Office for Family, Public Order, and Real Estate are now housed here and in the neighboring Widdumhof. https://youtu.be/xut_zU_pfDw?si=HtF7LyMTL2zyrDrF

The taverna is located a few kilometers upstream of Glems and is actually highly recommended 👍.

A beautiful section of the Glemsmühlen cycle path. The many trees provide pleasant shade on hot days. However, the path can become slippery in cold, wet weather. In any case, it's very idyllic 🤗
