history

In 1842 the brothers Nikolaus, Adolph Friedrich and Jakob Wilhelm Blankenhorn from Müllheim in Baden acquired the Rebgut Blankenhorn (s) berg winery in Ihringen am Kaiserstuhl . In 1847 a wine shop was founded under the name Blankenhorn Brothers and a vaulted cellar was built. The wines of the Blankenhorn brothers have received several awards at exhibitions, for example at the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873, and thus contributed to the good reputation of Baden wines.

Adolph Friedrich's son, Adolph Blankenhorn , was the co-founder of German viticulture. After completing his doctorate with Robert Bunsen at Heidelberg University, he returned to his parents' business. He used the winery as a test station for his viticultural and oenological investigations. With his own funds he founded an oenological institute in Karlsruhe in 1867 and in 1870 brought out the scientific journal "Annalen der Onologie". Blankenhorn played a decisive role in the development of the grafted vine to combat phylloxera .

Adolph Blankenhorn was a co-founder and first president of the Baden and German winegrowing associations in 1874. For his achievements in viticulture, he was awarded a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1878 . For health reasons, Blankenhorn had to limit his scientific work from 1880 and died in 1906 in Konstanz on Lake Constance. The Blankenhorn family continued to manage the winery. After the First World War in 1919, she sold the property to the Baden Chamber of Agriculture following a resolution passed by the Baden State Parliament on May 12, 1919. The company was nationalized in 1933 by the Reichsnährstand . From 1933 onwards, this took over all activities and assets of the associations in the agricultural sector. After the Second World War, the winery became the property of the State of Baden-Württemberg and the property was affiliated to the Freiburg State Wine Institute as an experimental and teaching property.
