Ungeheuer

Famous single vineyard in the municipality of Forst in the Mittelhaardt region, Großlage Mariengarten in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. The German Chancellor Prince Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) made the following statement after drinking a Riesling from this vineyard from the Reichsrat von Buhl winery: "This monster tastes monstrous to me". This made the vineyard world-famous. Incidentally, on the occasion of his 68th birthday, Bismarck was also given a bottle of the legendary 1811 from this vineyard, also known as Comet Wine, by the Bassermann-Jordan winery.

Origin of the name

The local restaurant Zum Forster Ungeheuer advertises the fact that Napoleon (1769-1821) dined in what is now the "Napoleon Room" in the late summer of 1805 when he passed through the Palatinate on his way to Austerlitz. The name "Forster Ungeheuer" comes from a clerk named Johann Adam Ungeheuer in Deidesheim from 1699, who "immortalised" his name in this way. The name therefore has nothing to do with a monster, although there are two stone monsters at the entrance and exit to Forst.
