Famille Hugel - Riquewihr (Alsace), France - Wineries on Waymarking.com

[FR] Quelque deux siècles plus tard, Hans Ulrich Hugel s'installe à Riquewihr alors dévastée par la terrible guerre de Trente Ans. En 1639 il est reçu bourgeois de la ville et prendra bientôt la tête de la très puissante Corporation des Vignerons.

Son fils bâtit en 1672 une très belle demeure rue des Cordiers et surmonte sa porte des armoiries familiales qui sont à l'origine de l'actuelle signature de la maison.

En 1902 Frédéric Emile Hugel quitte l'ancienne propriété familiale pour s'installer au centre de Riquewihr où se trouve aujourd'hui encore le coeur de l'exploitation.

[EN] Some two centuries later, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riquewihr, which had been devastated by the terrible Thirty Years War.
In 1639 he was made a freeman of the city and soon took charge of the very powerful Corporation of Winegrowers.

In 1672 his son built a fine house in the Rue des Cordiers, and over the doorway was carved the family crest which was the origin of the company’s logo still used today.

During the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries, the Hugel family gained an enviable reputation for their winegrowing skills and for the meticulous way in which they cultivated their vineyards.

In 1902, Frédéric Emile Hugel left the old family property and established himself in premises in the centre of Riquewihr which still form the heart of the family business.
