Paradiesgarten

single vineyard (also Paradiswingert) in the municipality of Deidesheim (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. The former name was Waldberg. The current name was coined in the early 1950s by Ökonomierat Hoch, then owner of the Dr. Deinhard winery. To emphasise the new name, he had a statue of a woman representing Eve in paradise erected in the vineyard. Since November 1983, the municipality of Deidesheim has leased individual vines of the municipal property at this site to public figures. The first holders were the German President Richard von Weizsäcker (1920-2015) and the long-time German Chancellor Helmut Kohl (1930-2017).
