Karl Marx

Homage on the 200th Birthday (2017)

Karl Marx, the important German philosopher and pioneer of the workers’ movement was also a great admirer of Mosel wine und is reputed always to have drunk wine from his homeland during his exile in London. On the occasion of his 200th birthday DRK Trier dedicated to him a jubilee wine, cultivated, pressed and bottled by the DRK vineyard along the Mosel.

It is above all for the Chinese that Karl Marx remains an icon until today and a visit to Trier a kind of pilgrimage with which a childhood dream is often fulfilled. Chinese travel groups leave clear trails in the business and souvenir world of the city with 100,000 inhabitants.

The goal of the market development was to develop a lasting memory for tourists and a wine for the Asiatic market.

The jubilee wine was released with great success on 5th May on the occasion of the unveiling of the Karl Marx statue.
