Future of the Vinothek in Landau: bankruptcy and unclear perspectives!

The vinotheque par terre in Landau, which was opened as part of the 2014 State Garden Show, must register bankruptcy. This was done almost ten years after the project was opened, which was not sufficiently supported by the mass of wine lovers. Die Rheinpfalz reports that the interior of the vinotheque was designed by the Berlin fashion designer Michael Michalsky. The then decision-makers included Theresia Riedmaier (SPD) as District Administrator and Hans-Dieter Schlimmer (SPD) as Mayor.

The vinotheque was launched with the support of the local tourist offices and should become a center for wine lovers from the region. Despite the opening ceremony and creative design, the project could not develop the expected attractiveness in the wine community, which ultimately led to a financial imbalance. Now the future of the project is uncertain.

managing director leaves the vinotheque

Christine Ludt, who has been the managing director since the opening of the Vinothek, will give up her position at the end of 2016. The Pfalz-Express informed that Ludt has expressed the wish to reorient itself professionally. During a session of the supervisory board, she explained that she had brought her experience into the project, but is now striving for a change.

The chairman of the supervisory board Christoph Ochs thanked Ludt's commitment and creative work. It was also announced that the procedure for successor decision has already been initiated. According to the information, the vinotheque was established during the State Garden Show from April to October 2015 and has since had an exciting but ultimately problematic story.

market situation and wine production

The bankruptcy of the vinotheque comes at a time when the wine market in Germany is faced with challenges. According to the Federal Statistical Office , the harvesting and operating reporting for vines and wine must is crucial for the assessment of the market situation. Annual information about vineyards and their changes are necessary to observe the developments in viticulture and the production conditions.

harvest quantities and quality levels are important for market transparency and help to make wine -growing decisions. The bankruptcy that has now occurred could have an impact on local wine production and sales in the region, which also influences the market structure.
