Location and landscape
Lämmerberg lies to the north of Randersacker in the Randersacker cadastral district. The vineyard area stretches in a north-easterly direction along the Haslachtal as far as the boundary of the Gerbrunn cadastral area, and runs close to the Rottendorfer Flutgraben parallel to Gerbrunner Straße. At Häsleinsteig and at the Randersackerer Kapelle, it borders the Randersackerer Pfülben.
Soil and grape varieties
The vineyards include, in part, steep ridges with a gradient from south to east. Lämmerberg is located in the Upper Muschelkalk; locally, there is a substantial covering of loam. The main grape variety documented is Silvaner; in addition, Gewürztraminer and other white grape varieties.
History
The name is historically attested, among other things, as Lemmberg in 1144, Lemmerberc in 1317, and Lemmerberg in 1328. The largest historical landed property in the site belonged to Heilsbronn Abbey, later to the Margraves of Ansbach and afterwards to the King of Prussia. The mountain chapel in Lämmerberg was built in 1903 by residents from Randersacker.
Wine law classification
Lämmerberg is an officially listed vineyard site within the Großlage Ewig Leben in the MainSüden area of Franken. The name Lämmerberg was granted approval again from autumn 1987. From 1971 to 1986, wines from the area were permitted to carry exclusively the Großlage designation Randersackerer Ewig Leben.
