THE WEINFISCHER

IN HÖRSCHING

„Wein braucht in der Präsentation und der Verkostung Bordeaux red meets earth-coloured velvet, steel meets
wood, curves meet angular shapes – at first glance, there
ein entsprechendes vis-à-vis.“ seems to be no clearly recognizable design line. But the
Karl Fischer, Weinfischer result is certainly convincing with due to its consistently
harmonious appearance. In the Weinfischer in Hörsching,
various elements and colours combine to create a unique
tasting room on an area of just under 150 square metres.

T he truly neologistic word creation is epitomized by Karl Fischer.
The Austrian vinotheque owner and wine merchant supplies his
customers with specially sourced wines of regional and international
origin. The salesroom is just as diverse as is the range of wines. The
venue located an ensemble built around a square courtyard as it is
typical of the region – serving both as the vinotheque and as the home
to the client. Although the Baumgartnerhof may not be a rarity in the
neighbourhood due to its dimensions, it is considered one of the most
beautiful and oldest farms of its kind. Four buildings arranged around
an inner courtyard form the ensemble typography. Light yellow façade
plaster radiates Mediterranean flair, and an inner courtyard partly lined
with arcades with its round arches sets the mood for the main motif
of the room construction: the well-preserved vaulted ribs. An almost
square room, nine cross-vaulted ceilings and four internal columns for
load transfer characterize the existing building, which has been conver-
ted into a wine bar. It made sense to commission the experienced plan-
ning team from Bogenfeld Architektur – they are not only entrusted with
the conversion of farmhouses, but have already proved their talent with
previous projects on the Baumgartnerhof. A large double-leaf wooden
door leads visitors into the multifunctional and open-plan interior. In
the centre: a bespoke Bordeaux-red table at counter height, where peop-
Grundriss • Floor plan le with a passion for wine come together. Suspended luminaires with
acoustically effective loden fabric set the scene for the red and white
culinary delights. Modular cubes form a wooden counterpart made of
spruce wood: individually, they measure 55 x 55 centimetres – together
they form a tall piece of furniture with an integrated wine rack. Thanks
to the cross vaulting, which is finished with lime smoothing, no walls
are at right angles: The interior and exterior walls, which are framed
by round arches – sometimes plain white, sometimes decorated with
ornamental tiles – are reminiscent of the charm of a classic wine cellar
with a barrel vault. And the big stars of the Weinfischer each have their
