Breider Hans

The German viticulture expert Professor Dr Hans Breider (1908-2000) studied biology and genetics at the Universities of Münster and Innsbruck. From 1936 until his military service during the Second World War, he worked at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Breeding Research in Müncheberg, and from 1947 to 1950 he was head of the vine breeding institute in Alzey (Rheinhessen). From 1950, he was initially responsible for vine breeding at the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture in Würzburg (Franconia), and from 1959 to 1973 he was the managing director of this institute. The "passionate breeder" created numerous new varieties there, such as Albalonga, Augusta Luise, Cantaro (1), Fontanara, Hildegardistraube, Mariensteiner, Montagna, Muscabona, Ortega, Osiris, Perle, Sissi, Tamara and Thekla.
