Kirchberg

Alongside Altenberg, Herrenberg, Kapellenberg, Klosterberg, Rosenberg and Sonnenberg, the name is one of the most common single-vineyard designations in Germany. The vineyard name occurs around 50 times in 8 of the 13 growing regions (see the list in the last paragraph). This makes Kirchberg the second most common single-vineyard name in Germany. Many of these vineyards have an ecclesiastical building (church or chapel) in the centre of the vineyards. The Roman Catholic Church and the religious orders used to have extensive vineyard estates in many European countries (in some cases to this day), as wine was required as mass wine, particularly for the Holy Mass.
