Inscription.  
Der Weinbau hat in Feuerbach eine Jahrhunderte lange Tradition. Laut Bebenhäuser Güterbuch gab es hier bereits 1356 zwei Keltern, welche zwei verschiedenen Frauenberger Herren gehörten. Die Weingärtner waren Pächter, sie mussten ihre Trauben in der Kelter ihres Grundherren pressen lassen und Abgaben entrichten. Die 1524 erwähnte große herrschaftliche Kelter wurde mehrfach umgebaut und 1789 von der württembergischen Herrschaft neu errichtet. 1834 erwarb die Gemeinde dieses Keltergebäude. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Kelter teilweise zerstört und 1946 wieder instandgesetzt. 1992 übernahm der WOGV den Betrieb der denkmalgeschützten Kelter zum Erhalt der Weinberge in Feuerbach.

(English Translation)
Winegrowing has a centuries-old tradition in Feuerbach. According to Bebenhausen Abbey’s property register, two wine presses already stood here in 1356 and belonged to two different lords of Frauenberg. The winegrowers were tenants who had to bring their grapes to their landlord’s press and pay the required dues. The large estate-owned wine press mentioned in 1524 was rebuilt several times and completely reconstructed by the rulers of Württemberg in 1789. The municipality purchased the wine-press building in 1834. It was partly destroyed during the Second World War and repaired in 1946. In 1992, the WOGV assumed operation of the protected historic wine press to help preserve Feuerbach’s vineyards.
 
Erected 2011 by Feuerbach Wine, Fruit and Horticultural Association of 1881 and Bürgerverein Feuerbach e. V.
