The Austrian viticulture expert Professor Dr. Fritz Zweigelt (1888-1964) studied natural sciences in Graz and later habilitated at the WQien University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences. In 1912, he joined the Klosterneuburger Weinbauinstitut (Lower Austria), later became its director, and held this position until 1945. He was a strong advocate in the fight against the Direktträger and Hybriden. Zweigelt is considered a distinguished scientist in the field of vine Züchtung, but faced severe criticism after the end of the war in 1945. As a convinced National Socialist, he joined the then-banned NSDAP in Austria in 1933 and became known for his infamous statements. After the war, he was classified as a "follower" and was not prosecuted. Fritz Zweigelt was very active in journalism and published over 500 publications. His name is inseparably linked to the very successful new breed Zweigelt that he created and named after himself.
