Rödelsee Castle Hill
Rödelseer Schloßberg is a large location in the Franconian wine-growing region . It includes vineyards in the so-called Steigerwald foreland around Rödelsee in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen . It is part of the areas of Main South and Schwanberger country.
Geographical location and geology
The vineyards of the Rödelseer Schloßberg area stretch in a long arc from Kitzingen - Sickershausen in the southwest to the Gründleinsbach in the Kleinlangheim area in the northeast. The center of the large location is the Schwanberg , which already belongs to the Steigerwald and forms the transition from the low mountain range to its foreland. Originally belonged to the positions of the major site for area Maindreieck or Steigerwald , since 2017 they are part of the newly created areas Main South and Schwanberger country . Rödelsee forms the geographical center of the area, most of the locations are around Wiesenbronn .
Overall, the large area takes up an area of around 250 ha (1993), which makes it one of the larger large areas in the Franconian cultivation area. In terms of nature, the vineyards in the Steigerwald foreland are located. The western locations are in the Mainbernheim Plain , which is the last flat area before the Steigerwald rise to be characterized by arable farming. In the east the Schwanbergvorland joins, which already rises gently towards the mountains. The soils are similarly differentiated: Muschelkalk can be found in the west , while Keuper predominates in the east . There are gypsum admixtures in the areas around the Schwanberg.
Origin of name
The name Rödelseer Schloßberg refers, like that of the Iphöfer Burgweg, to the Schwanberg Castle on the Steigerwaldberg of the same name, which is in the center of the large location. The Crailsheim Castle in Rödelsee was built in the 17th century as a moated castle and is not on a mountain. The Schwanberg was already settled in prehistoric and early historical times and remained an important cult and center point during the Franconian colonization. In the Middle Ages, a pilgrimage chapel drew pilgrims to the mountain, it was destroyed in the German Peasants' War in 1525 .
Vineyards
The list of vineyards is based on a list of all Bavarian vineyards, which was published by the government of Lower Franconia . It is arranged alphabetically. The markings on which the vineyard can be found are noted in the second column. The areas of the vineyards are also listed. The nature of the soil and its predominant composition can be seen in the geology column . Notes contain important historical key points on the individual locations.
The Rödelsee Schloßberg has a total of eleven individual layers. Several layers of stretch across different districts out the grapevines often focus on a district (Example bulk Langheimer Schwan Leite, Rödelseer Schwan Leite). However, the vineyards can be assigned much more clearly than those of the surrounding large areas. The geographic coordinate refers to the largest part of the respective location. A special feature is the location of the Sickershäuser Storchenbrünnle vineyard in the MainSüden area; Most of the other vineyards in the large area are in the Schwanberger Land area. The Hoheimer location (without a name) lies in both areas. The Julius-Echter-Berg site only belongs to the large site with a small area.
