The rather modest farmstead at Enggasse 1 is a good example of a small-scale farmstead at the beginning of the 19th century. The street-front dwelling was probably built soon after 1800 and has an entrance in the courtyard on the west gable end. The rear barn, with the gable adjoining the dwelling house at right angles, is possibly even older.
The courtyard complex also has a barrel-vaulted cellar, which was originally accessible through a round arch in the courtyard from today’s Haus Krone (Gaustraße 19). This is explained by the fact that the two properties probably once belonged together. The building in Enggasse 1 was a so-called Altenteilerhaus, i.e. it served as a replacement for a previous owner of the farm in Gaustraße 19 after the farm was handed over.

From 1981 to 1984 the small farmstead was restored. The barn was rebuilt for gastronomic use and opened in 1986. Since then, the property has been known as the Harxheimer Weinstube and has been managed by several tenants since then.
On the opposite side of Enggasse (Enggasse 2) stood the old Catholic schoolhouse until 2000. It was used for school lessons until 1908 and then continued to be used as living quarters for the Catholic teacher. The Catholic community did not build its own church until 1870 in the large garden behind the schoolhouse.
