Brigitte Henkel — A landlady with a heart of gold
Guesthouse & Holiday Flats · Wolf on the Moselle · For over 25 years
My name is Brigitte Henkel. I run my guesthouse and two holiday flats in the heart of the wine-growing village of Wolf on the Moselle — in a restored half-timbered house dating from 1634, which my grandmother once bought and which we have passed down from generation to generation.
What drives me: personal hospitality. I’m not part of a hotel chain — I’m your hostess. For over two decades, I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests from all over the world. Many come back year after year and have since become true friends.
„Every guest is welcome here — whether you’re a cyclist on the Moselle Cycle Route, a wine lover or a family with children. I’ll tailor my service to your needs, show you the region’s most beautiful spots and always look forward to a good chat over breakfast.“

Wolf, a picturesque village on the Moselle

Our guesthouse is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Wolf, where you can still admire beautiful half-timbered houses in an idyllic atmosphere.
Wolf is a traditional Protestant village with a very special feature: it is home to one of the few churches in Germany that has its own wine cellar – an extraordinary combination of spirituality and wine culture.

The history of the church in Wolf
In 1482, a dispute arose between the monastery and the village of Wolf. Negotiations were then held to find a solution. It was agreed that Wolf would receive a Servatius chapel named „an de Wiedenhof“. The Kogelherren built the wine cellar, which they could use for economic purposes. The municipality of Wolf took over the remaining tasks. Provost Andreas Spars signed on behalf of the Kogelherren monastery community. On 24 May 1491, the chapel was consecrated by the suffragan bishop. John of Eindhoven inaugurated.
Servatius is henceforth the patron saint of this chapel. Between 1622 and 1624, Spanish troops still celebrate their services in the Monastery ruins on Göckelberg hill.
But soon, thanks to a very profitable grape harvest, the community in Wolf is able to afford its own parish church in the centre of Wolf. In Year 1685 the church will be consecrated.
| From this date onwards, the monastery church gradually falls into disrepair and is occasionally used as a quarry. Today, tourists can still visit the monastery ruins. A hike to the monastery is a lovely alternative and offers breathtaking panoramic views. |
