Jesuitengarten

A frequently occurring single-location name in Germany. The name indicates former ownership or cultivation by the Catholic Jesuit order.

Forst - Palatinate (Mittelhaardt-German Wine Route)

The name is derived from the Jesuit order, which owned the vineyard until 1773. In the Bavarian vineyard classification of 1828, the site was given the second-highest rating. The south-east facing vineyard at 120 to 150 metres above sea level with a slope of up to 15% covers seven hectares of vines.

The soils consist of weathered red sandstone with deposits of volcanic basalt and calcareous clay marl with a high humus content. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Bassermann-Jordan, Dr Bürklin-Wolf, Margarethenhof, Mosbacher Georg, Müller Eugen, Reichsrat von Buhl, Spindler Heinrich and Weingut von Winning wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
