Müller-Thurgau Hermann

The Swiss botanist, oenologist and vine grower Dr. h.c. Hermann Müller (1850-1927) named himself after his home canton Müller-Thurgau. He first attended the teacher training seminar and then became a teacher at the secondary school in Stein am Rhein. He then studied in Zurich at what is now the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), graduating in 1872 with a diploma in natural sciences.

In 1891 he was appointed to the Experimental Station for Fruit, Wine and Horticulture in Wädenswil, today's Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil, where he became director.
