Viticulture
General
Wine has been grown on the southern slopes of Kapellenberg since around the 13th century . A wine- growing path created there provides information with numerous boards about viticulture in the Tübingen district. The Kapellenberg single vineyard belongs to the Upper Neckar area of the Württemberg wine-growing region . Viticulture takes place here exclusively on steep slopes. In 1999, 273 winegrowers in the Tübingen district worked almost 33 hectares of vineyards. Thereof 4.07 ha in Wurmlingen, 3.44 ha in Wendelsheim and 1.81 ha in Rottenburg.
Transverse rows
“The biggest mistake in the local upbringing” , wrote Johann Philipp Bronner in 1837, “is that the rows or vines are all wrongly led ... According to the natural rule, they should be led ... in the ascending direction of the mountain ... but here is just the reverse observed, the arches are in fact all provided so that they form a fairly closed green wall that always runs across the vineyard ... " that's why you see the cross series today at the Wurmlinger chapel where today the Tübingen wine Anton Brenner his “Rote Kapelle” called red wine grows. Pulling the wine across the slope has the advantage that you can walk through the rows at ground level without having to climb over the vineyard walls.
Unchopped vineyards
Greening vineyards with grass used to be common practice because it meant that you didn't have to chop, just mow, and greening is now increasingly being used again on Kapellenberg.
