[edit] History

The KSCV had been founded in Jena in 1848 and soon moved its venue to the nearby city of Bad Kösen in the northernmost German wine growing area Saale-Unstrut having its annual meetings at the nearby Rudelsburg.

During the 3rd Reich, the KSCV refused to exclude Jewish members, which resulted in problems with the German authorities.
