Mörstadter Nonnengarten

Once tended by women 

Nuns once owned vineyards here. Hence the name. Which nunnery was it? If you read the history of Mörstadt, many monasteries were present in turn. Lorsch Monastery, Worms Cathedral Abbey, Otterberg Abbey. But is one of these meant? And was it a pure nunnery or was it a double monastery (i.e. for monks and nuns), but exclusively the nuns owned and tended the vineyards? Many question marks. What is clear today is that both women and men can produce tasty wines. No matter what religion or creed they belong to. Burgundy, Chardonnay and many other grape varieties grow on loess and sandy soil in the Nonnengarten. 

> Other single vineyard sites that relate to women in the broadest sense: Nieder-Flörsheimer Frauenberg or Hesslocher Liebfrauenberg.
