The Lohrberger Hang in Frankfurt am Main , the vineyard area of ​​which was registered in 1971 under the number 06 112 000/1 in the Weinbergrolle , forms one of the smallest vineyards with 1.3 hectares and, apart from the Böddiger Berg in northern Hesse, the easternmost vineyard in the specific growing area Rheingau and in Hesse . The Lohrberger Hang is managed by the City of Frankfurt am Main winery in Hochheim am Main .

Geographical location

Slope movement

The vineyard is the only remaining within the city of Frankfurt and is located in the north-eastern district of Seckbach within the 1,924-scale Lohr Parks for Berger back counting Lohrberg . The vineyard is located on a south-facing slope and therefore receives a lot of sun.

characterization

The Lohrberger Hang vineyard can be circled both on foot and by bike on footpaths that are partly asphalted and partly strewn with sand. For pedestrians, a path interrupted by steps leads right through the vineyard. This trail is closed in late summer when the grapes reach maturity and the berry harvest is imminent. But also in winter, when it is slippery and at risk of accident.

The grape harvest in October is carried out with almost 50 people, the main harvest usually within one day. Afterwards, the helpers can taste bottled wine from previous years, and there is also a hearty snack at long tables right on the Lohrberger Hang vineyard. Most of the helpers have many years of experience, skill and care are essential when harvesting.

Every year around 10,000 bottles of Riesling are produced from the grapes of the 1.3 hectare vineyard, mostly dry , sometimes semi-dry . In good years Spätlese and Auslese are also possible. Due to the relatively small number of bottles per year, the wine is quite popular.

The Riesling wines of the Lohrberger slope regularly receive awards at the Hessian State Wine Awards.

The Frankfurt Lohrberger Hang Riesling is served on appropriate occasions in the Frankfurt City Hall Römer , preferably to important guests of the city. However, the wine is also freely sold in Limpurger Gasse, which borders on the Römer. The entrance to the municipal wine shop is in the portal of the Silberberg house, through which you can get to the Römerhöfchen.

Bottled wines are also served and sold directly on the Lohrberg, for example in the Lohrbergschänke garden restaurant and in the ÄppelBistro of the MainÄppelHaus .

history

The viticulture is for Lohrberg since the middle ages occupied. In the second documentary mention of Seckbach ( Seckibah ) in the year 882, three Huben land with vineyards in Seckibah can be read. However, the area under vines used to extend significantly further, to about the former embankment of tram line 20 to Bergen . The early existence is also documented, for example, by an old escort card from 1575. The typical parcel layout of current land maps, which is still recognizable today, reveals an anomaly caused by the division of the estate. For example, 1.5 meter wide parcel sections (a certain number of vines) were added or removed from the originally rectangular parcels.

The Lohrberger Hang wine-growing area in the Seckbacher Lohrpark has belonged to the city of Frankfurt am Main since 1803, although Seckbach was not incorporated into the municipality until 1900. At the beginning of the 19th century, the winery with its buildings and vineyards was secularized . It previously belonged to the Carmelite Monastery in Frankfurt . In the past, field riflemen monitored that no unauthorized persons were being amicable in the vineyard.

Transport links

The slope movement is evident within the Lohrberger Hang vineyard on the walls of the walking path that crosses it. With the motor vehicle you can only get to the Lohrberg and the Lohrpark car park via Friedberger Landstrasse in the direction of Bad Vilbel and Berger Weg if you comply with the StVO . With the local public transport (ÖPNV) you can take the RMV bus line 43 to the Budge-Altenheim stop. From there it is about a 10-minute uphill walk to Lohrpark. Alternatively, you can use the RMV bus routes 30 or 69 to the Heiligenstock stop. From there it is about 10 minutes to walk to Lohrpark on a mostly flat route along the Berger Weg lined with fields and allotment gardens.
