to bathe, The Winklerberg forms the southern foothills of the Kaiserstuhl. Great merit in the cultivation of this acquired the Ihringer physician Ernst Georg Lydtin. In 1813, he acquired part of a former dolorite quarry and planted vineyards. In the course of time was further cleared and the area partially secured with up to eight meters high retaining walls. The Winklerberg, which is completely protected against the cold northern winds, is considered the warmest German location with an almost subtropical climate. This was done by Professor dr. Karl

Land Consolidation considerably expanded and is quite different due to the size. The historic Winklerberg is dominated by volcanic weathering soils with silicate inclusions and loess soil on the high plateau. In particular, the Burgundy varieties are cultivated.
