Traditional vine cut in Schöneberg strengthens partnership with Bad Kreuznach

The traditional vineyard on the vineyard took place in the garden work school in Schöneberg on yesterday's day. This serves to increase the quality of the grapes and at the same time symbolizes the partnership with the Bad Kreuznach district. Mayor Peter Schulz and the nearby Katharina Gräff were personally present, accompanied by a delegation of 50 winegrowers.

District Mayor Oltmann ceremoniously received in the Schöneberg town hall to celebrate the long -term exchange. The wine "Schöneberger Nahrefreund" was initiated. This wine thus also contributes to the connection between the two regions.

District Mayor Jörn Oltmann emphasized the importance of the vine cut as an integral part of the annual course of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. He was particularly pleased to welcome local mayor Peter Schulz, the nearby Katharina Gräff and the delegation of the winegrowers in the town hall. This tradition is closely linked to the over 60-year city partnership with Bad Kreuznach, whose commitment and existed through the long-term deployment of district mayor a.d. Michael Barthel and Reiner Jäck from the association to promote the vineyard and the garden work school in Schöneberg e.V.

The district office Tempelhof -Schöneberg also spoke out for a conscious and responsible handling of alcohol, which is of particular importance in view of the wine production and tasting in the region.

The event shows the close connection and cultural exchange between the regions and is an important part of the city partnership. The historical context of long-term relationships between Tempelhof-Schöneberg and Bad Kreuznach is also of interest.
