The current company headquarters is the former Lichtenberger manor house and was built in 1847 by Carl Theodor Lichtenberger. At the same time, the same construction company built the Ludwigshöhe Palace for the King of Bavaria in the same architectural style. King Ludwig I of Bavaria celebrated the birthday of his wife, Queen Theresia, in the Lichtenberger manor house on July 8, 1854.

In 1902, the building was purchased by the winegrowers' cooperative for 20,000 gold marks, which had been borrowed from the local priest. Courage and a sense of community characterized this period.
