The German natural scientist and wine chemist Dr Wilhelm Möslinger (1856-1930) studied natural sciences and chemistry in Breslau and received his doctorate in 1876. From 1882 to 1893 he was an assistant at the Agricultural District Experimental Station in Speyer. From 1886 he was a member of the Commission for Wine Statistics. Möslinger was instrumental in expanding the scientific basis for the creation of the first German wine law in 1892. In 1893 he founded a private chemical laboratory in Neustadt an der Weinstraße (Palatinate), where in 1903 he developed the "Möslinger-Schönung", named after him, for the removal of metals from wine.

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
