Location, climate, soils
The Herrgottsacker belongs to the Palatinate cultivation area and here in turn to the Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstrasse area. It is a single site that is part of the Forster Mariengarten large site . The Herrgottsacker lies at an altitude of about 120 to 180 m above sea level. NHN . It is 10% steep, 20% sloping and 70% flat.
The transition from the Palatinate Forest to the Lower Palatinate Lowland, known as Mittelhaardt, forms an approximately two-kilometer-wide foothill zone here. The soils of the Herrgottsacker consist of loam , loamy sand, which is interspersed with boulders in places, as well as sandy clays and occasionally from weathered limestone; the soil composition often changes between these types of soil. The Haardt mountain range protects the Herrgottsacker from precipitation in its lee , and the slope of the slope means that cold air masses can flow off to the Rhine plain on frosty spring nights and the vines usually do not freeze.
Surname
The first mention of the name was in 1491 ("der hergots Acker"). The churchyard used to be called Herrgottsacker or Gottesacker .
