Life

Schneider came from an old Heilbronn vineyard family and made a name for himself early on in the breeding of quality grape varieties. His breeds include the Schneider Trollinger and the grape variety clones Schwarzriesling 26/8 , Trollinger 4/7 and Trollinger 29/5 . The black Riesling mutation Samtrot was discovered by Schneider in his Heilbronn vineyard in 1928 and taken over for propagation in 1929 by the State Training and Research Institute for Viticulture and Fruit Growing in Weinsberg .

From 1929 Schneider was a member of the Württemberg winegrowing association, from 1930 to 1934 he was a member of the board of the Weingärtnergesellschaft 1888 Heilbronn (the later Heilbronn-Erlenbach-Weinsberg cooperative winery ), after which he had a seat on the Reich Wine Council . After the Second World War he was one of the founders of the Württemberg-Baden eV winegrowing association (from 1953 Weinbauverband ), of which he was the first chairman and under whose aegis, shortly after it was founded, the still existing association organ Rebe & Wein was brought into being. The first election of a Württemberg wine queen goes back to Schneider in 1950 , and he also succeeded in officially recognizing the winegrower's professional profile under wine law with the Württemberg wine-growing assistant test . Schneider was active on boards and committees at the DLG , the German Winegrowing Association and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture . For his services to viticulture, he received the Federal Cross of Merit (Steckkreuz) in 1952 .

Schneider was a member of the Heilbronn municipal council from 1933 to 1935 and from 1946 to 1955. He was elected to the constituent assembly of Württemberg-Baden for the constituency of Heilbronn in 1946 and as a member of the DVP to the two regional parliaments of Württemberg-Baden .
