It was determined by Fritz Kobel for the first time in 1937 . In his standard work Die Kirschensorten der Deutschen Schweiz , he stated Herrliberg on the north bank of Lake Zurich as their origin . He described its importance as "high quality fruit" that should be "tested in the better locations of north-western Switzerland".
Variety description
The flowering time and maturity of the 'Dankelmann' variety is indicated as "medium late", its use as "table and canned cherry". 'Dankelmann' is self-sterile and needs a pollen donor . According to Kobel, 'Büttner's late red cartilage cherry ', ' Badeborner ', ' Great Princess ', ' Large black cartilage cherry ' (Geisenheim type) and ' Ochsenherzkirsche ' (Halle-Diemitz type) " are suitable for this .
The fruit body is medium to large with an average of 19.2 × 21.9 × 19.25 mm, its shape is "broadly heart-shaped to almost kidney-shaped, strongly compressed on both sides, but especially on the belly side." He describes its taste as juicy , sweet, strong and spicy, the cherry juice as colorless.
Kobel explains about the cherry pit of the 'Dankelmann' variety: “Moderately dissolves. Surface a little rough. Small: 9.72 x 8.12 x 6.67 mm (100: 84: 69: 83). Crookedly egg-shaped, with a sharp, often slightly hooked tip. The side of the stem sloping sharply backwards, mostly with some strong wrinkles. The starting point of the stalk is small, not noticeable. Back line almost evenly curved, a little protruding and forming a sharp wedge towards the tip, mostly with strong wrinkles. The base of the bulge is very strong, but rather narrow, protruding, hooked and curved and strongly overlapping, protruding far beyond the apex, often with short secondary bulges. Side bulges only strong and sharp from the middle, a little diverging, almost straight in the middle part, now and then with secondary bulges. Intermediate bulges often come together to form a central bulge formed in the rear part, often running independently. "
