Pfaffenweiler is surrounded by grape vineyards that produce 15 different kinds of grapes.
The old world word "Pfaffe" (from lat .: papa = father)was a name for a priest. The concept was used originally for Roman-Catholic priests or priests as a stately general term for a person who lives according to an ecclesiastical rule in the Middle Ages. Almost only the priests were educated. "weiler" means little village. The original part of the town had a church and it is summized that the Priest was the head of the village.
