The Domain: The famous Prüm wine-growing family from the municipality of Bernkastel-Wehlen in the German Moselle wine-growing region has a long history dating back to at least the 16th century. One of the first documented members of the family was Gerhardus Hermann Prüm (1169-1229), although no direct line of descent can be traced back to him. The first genealogically verifiable ancestor, Peter Prüm, came to Wehlen from St. Goar.

Prüm - Familienaufstellung

Progenitor Sebastian Alois Prüm
Sebastian Alois Prüm (1794-1871) is considered the progenitor of today's winegrowing families. He married Maria Anna Ehsius in 1821. Of the seven sons, only Mathias (1835-1890), who owned one of the larger vineyards on the Middle Moselle, married. Mathias Prüm and Katharina (née Kieren) had six children. The estate was divided between them in 1911 and a number of well-known wineries were subsequently established.

Division into several wine estates
Alois Prüm (1877-1959) received the largest inheritance from S. A. Prüm. The two wineries Jos. Christoffel jr. and Senfter also emerged from this line. Johann Josef Prüm (1873-1944) named his inheritance Joh. Jos. Prüm. Peter Prüm's (1881-1970) inheritance subsequently became the Studert-Prüm winery through a merger. Anna Maria Prüm (1887-1926) married Dr Franz Weins, which resulted in the Dr F. Weins-Prüm winery.

Maria Anna Prüm (1875-1904) married Zacharias Bergweiler (1861-1934). Grandchildren are Ernst Loosen ( Dr Loosen winery) and Wilhelm Weil ( Robert Weil winery). After the death of his first wife Maria Anna, Bergweiler married her sister Maria Katharina Prüm (1884-1954); this gave rise to the Dr Pauly-Bergweiler winery. The four estates Joh. Jos. Prüm, S. A. Prüm, Studert-Prüm and Dr F. Weins-Prüm are located next to each other on Uferallee in Wehlen.

Wehlener and Zeltinger sundial
In 1842, Jodocus Prüm (1807-1876), brother of the progenitor Sebastian Alois Prüm (1794-1871), built sundials in the vineyards of Wehlen and Zeltingen. He did not want to create vineyard names, but wanted to make it easier for the winegrowers to keep track of the time. The names Wehlener and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr are derived from this.
