history

The variety was categorized by Johann Joseph Trapp von Ehrenschild (1860 in Berlin founder of the German Pomologists Association ) in 1854 under the name "Kloppenheimer Matapfel". Although the variety was regularly to be found as a winter apple in the markets of Mainz and Wiesbaden between 1870 and 1930, only one tree that was planted in Igstadt in 1936 was known until recently . In the meantime, however, the Kloppenheimer Streifling is increasing again and is available in selected nurseries in Hesse. The Kloppenheimer Streifling is the " Hessian fruit variety of the year 2007 ".

It is predominantly used as a cider apple and dried fruit , but after a short storage period it is also suitable for fresh consumption. The variety is fast-growing and forms large spherical crowns, regular thinning is important.
