The Binger Weinstube, also known as "Der Eimer", located in today's Wagemannstraße, was first mentioned in a directory of innkeepers and taverns from 1884. On February 11, 1884, a new pub opened in what was then Metzgergasse, serving only wines from Bingen. Non-wine alcoholic drinks, especially beer, were not served until 1988.

Perhaps the name "Der Eimer" goes back to the sanitary facilities that had not yet been completed when the wine bar opened. The truth of the story behind the name remains to be seen.

The Preissel family took over the management of the pub between 1924 and 1954, and Karl Preissel can be regarded as the founder of its legendary reputation, as he established the constellation of live music, atmosphere and ambience that is still familiar today.

Gottfried Pfeiffer Sr. took over the restaurant in mid-1954, followed by his son from 1974-88. It was during this time that "Der Eimer" took on the look that is still so typical today. The paintings on the walls were created and the numerous postcards and wine labels were added. In the years that followed, various tenants ran the restaurant for shorter periods of time. However, the concept has remained the same to this day.

Probably one of the best-known musicians in the "Eimer" was the Wiesbaden-born pianist, bandleader and singer Paul Kuhn, who played the accordion for the guests even as a schoolboy.
