history
In a letter dated November 23, 1899, the district president of the Prussian government district of Koblenz , Joseph Anton Friedrich August Freiherr von Hövel , applied to the Ministry of Agriculture in Berlin to set up a domain fiscal system. In 1901 the wine-growing domain was founded and in 1903 the first vines were planted in the newly created vineyards. At that time the domain was the southernmost model estate of the Kingdom of Prussia , located directly on the border with the Kingdom of Bavaria . The ensemble of buildings with access from today's Kreisstraße 58, southwest of Niederhausen, was built from 1902. The administration building and wine press house are marked 1910 and are designed in a historicizing Art Nouveau style. The wine press house with its curved gable wall is on an old seal and was to be found on the cork brandy of the winery. The building complex includes workers' apartments, transformer tower and vineyards and has a broad landscape effect. The winery was privatized and now bears the name Gut Hermannsberg . It is a member of the Association of German Predicate and Quality Wineries .
Background of the establishment
The wine-growing domain founded in 1901 was a state domain . These are major agricultural holdings owned by the state. In the past, they were often operated as model agriculture in order to spread modern production methods in agriculture and also had an economic aspect. At the end of the 19th century there were also far-sighted personalities on the Nahe who saw such an opportunity as helpful for viticulture . On the Nahe there was ample need to improve the economic situation in viticulture. The reason was the massive occurrence of phylloxera introduced from America , which in some places led to a total failure, but also the increased occurrence of fungal pests. Above all, there was no independence of the Nahe wines , which were often sold under external names such as "Rüdesheimer" or " Rheinwein ". In addition, it was necessary to counteract the practice of so-called analytically resistant wines (wine factories). Finally, the new knowledge of agricultural chemistry ( Justus von Liebig ) had to be implemented in all areas of agriculture.
