Dr. Fischer
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer | Germany
Family documents show that the Fischers'
ancestors were involved in viticulture as far back as 1758. In 1950,
Dr H.H.Fischer, a surgeon, inherited the estate from his father, an
appointed public notary in Ockfen. Due to his medical duties in
Frankfurt, Dr. Fischer's wife, Gunhild, managed the estate. The
estate is well-known for its Ockfener Bockstein wines, and in 1964
the former Lintz estate in the nearby village of Wawern was
purchased; property dating back to 1043, which was formally owned by
the cathedral seminary of Trier before secularization in 1796.
Today, the next generation, Karin Fischer, manages the entire
estate, following the death of her husband Hans-Henning in 1999.
