Historic Center
Conversion of Manor House completed
The year 2024 began at the Eisenhammer in Hasloch with extensive construction work in the Manor House – the “Schwarzer Bock”, the catering location on the grounds of the Kurtz Ersa Historic Center, was to be renovated and modernized. The plan was to create an even more attractive environment for customer hospitality within three months.
As part of the construction project, the premises were enlarged to be able to cater for larger groups of up to 80 people. Existing elements – such as the bay window and the parquet flooring – were to be retained or reintegrated. The original construction time of three months was almost met and the first events were held in the newly-renovated guest room at the beginning of May. However, the Schwarzer Bock is not only used for entertaining customers, but is also regularly used for internal events. For example, the onboarding of new employees also takes place in the historic location. There is also a spacious seminar room in the Manor House – this was not directly affected by the renovation work, but also remained closed for this period due to the construction work. The Hammermuseum and hammer forge remained unaffected by the construction work and were freely accessible to external visitors.
The Kurtz Ersa HAMMERWEIN 2024 has been chosen!
The tenth Kurtz Ersa HAMMERWEIN competition took place on May 23 in the newly renovated premises of the Schwarzer Bock against the historic backdrop of the Eisenhammer.
As every year, there were six fine wines to choose from, which had been tasted in advance by an internal jury and had thus made it to the final round. The finalists were two Rieslings, a Schwarzriesling, a Chardonnay, a Scheurebe and a Müller-Thurgau.
Rainer Kurtz welcomed the 37 invited guests from business, politics and the public as well as the shareholders, management and executives of Kurtz Ersa and then handed over the floor to Margitta Dosch from the State Research Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture in Veitshöchheim, who led through the evening as speaker and moderator. Her keynote speech was entitled “Viticulture in the 21st century – nature in harmony with technology and modernity”, and she also spoke about the individual finalists during the tasting of the food and corresponding wines.
At 10:30 p.m., the result was clear
and Rainer Kurtz announced the winner:
2022 Reicholzheimer First
Müller-Thurgau dry
Winery Ehrlenbach – Reicholzheim
Zum Wohl and cheers!
