The small sloping side street (Guldengasse) leads to one of the oldest farms in Großwinternheim, house No. 7. Its most impressive view, however, can be seen from the low-lying parcels to the west, such as the southern extension of Maximinstraße. The name dates back to 1574 when it was owned by the noble family von Waltmannshausen. The residential building and staircase tower still contain late Gothic structural elements. A hallmark of the property's idyllic nature is the carefully towering octagonal turret with an ornate, shingled roof. Inside, an equally intricately crafted wooden staircase winds upward.
According to preserved documents, the Reformed Congregation acquired the property in 1722 from the heirs of a mayor named Rast and used it as a parsonage until the middle of the last century. It is thanks to the energetic pastor J. G. Krumm, who also played a significant role in the construction of the new Protestant church, that this place became a first Ingelheim nucleus of gymnasial education as a private "Higher School."
Since 1962, the property has been used as an agricultural estate.
