Hollenders Family Celebrates Successful Wine Harvest After Transforming Historic Dresden Property
The Hollenders family has successfully harvested their wine, marking a positive year for their baroque dream project. The family invested around 2.7 million euros to renovate the property and wine cellar, which now spans 20,000 square meters. The project faced challenges, including a bitter dispute with the previous resident and navigating seven authorities for approval.
The Hollenders family's journey began in 1999 when they planted their first vines before the exceptions for winegrowing in East Germany expired. They purchased the baroque Weinbergshaus on Schevenstraße in Dresden, which included a dilapidated vineyard and a 650 square meter wine cellar. The previous resident, Helga Kohl, lived there from 1955 to 2002 and had a dispute with the Hollenders over the property.
The family invested significantly in renovating the vineyard and wine cellar. The cellar now makes up about half of the spacious property. Caroline Hollenders can conveniently access the gate using an app. The family has their wine made at the Prince zur Lippe in Meißen.
The Hollenders family's dedication and investment have transformed the once-neglected property into a thriving vineyard. Their successful wine harvest this year is a testament to their hard work and commitment. The family's ability to navigate challenges and invest in the future of their property is commendable.
