Situated almost on the top of the Wachenberg, the Wachenburg was built between 1907 and 1928 as a memorial and meeting place for the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention (WSC) and its active student corps. The focal point of the social life of the WSC is the annual meeting during Ascension Week.
Today, the Wachenburg houses a restaurant, a beer garden with a magnificent view and several halls for weddings and celebrations of all kinds.
