The traditional winery is located in the municipality of Kanzem (Saar area) in the German wine-growing region of Mosel. Its history dates back to the early 16th century. The estate came into the possession of the Grach-Weissebach-von Othegraven family in 1805. It was first run by Katharina Grach-Weissebach (1789-1826) and later by Maria von Othegraven (1899-1995) until her death. Afterwards, her niece, Dr Heidi Kegel, took over the management. In mid-2010, the winery was taken over by TV presenter Günter Jauch (grandson of Elsa von Othegraven). Since 2004, Andreas Barth, who continues to run the Lubentiushof in Niederfell, has been responsible for the development of the wines as cellar master. For Othegraven, Grit Schedlinski is responsible as managing director and Swen Klinger as cellar master.
