The vineyard owes its name to an 18th-century lord of the Ravensburg castle, called "Dicker Franz", who was very open-minded towards culinary pleasures. Since then, the site has been known for a characteristic blue Franconian (Lemberger). The Blaufränkisch is said to have been planted there for the first time already after the Thirty Years' War. Thus, it was one of the first wines of this grape variety in Germany.
The vineyards, with a slope of up to 35 percent, are located on the southwest flank directly below Ravensburg Castle and "look down" on the village of Sulz-feld. The south-southwest exposure allows sun until sunset, as well as excellent protection from cold easterly winds, but very good ventilation from the west. The deep soils are characterized by mine-ralic gypsum keuper.
