Bischofsberg

Frequently occurring designation for vineyards in Germany. The name refers to an existing or former ecclesiastical property or a bishopric.

Großheubach - Franconia (Main quadrangle)

The name refers to ecclesiastical, prince-bishop and electoral-Mainz influences as well as the Engelberg monastery towering over the village. The south-west to south-southeast facing vineyards with slopes of up to 60% cover 53 hectares of vines on red sandstone soils. They are partly terraced with dry stone walls.
