Individual Details
Harold Wolf
(21 Nov 1913 - )
From Debbie, 9/23/99 after her visit to her see her grandfather, Harold, in Miami:
Harold Wolf was born in New Jersey on November 21, 1913. Shortly after he was born he went with his mother, Regina Kastner Wolf, and brothers, Theodore (born 1911) and Irwin (born 1909) to visit her parents in her home town of Frauenkirchen, Austria.
While on their visit, World War I broke out and they were stuck there until the end of the war.
Frauenkirchen is southeast of Vienna. It is immediately east of the Neusiedle See (a very big lake).
They returned to the United States via Italy in 1918 on a US or British ship named something like Berrgerria. After their return, his sister, Ruth, was born in 1921.
From the Web:
Upon leaving Vienna and heading southeast of the capital, the landscape begins to change. The distinctive flatness of the area recalls the Hungarian puszta. In fact, beginning at the town of Neusiedl, nearly the entire region along the eastern shore of Central Europe's only steppe lake is planted with grapevines.
In the past, vineyards were found almost exclusively around the districts of Illmitz. The wine-growers there took advantage of the highly favourable microclimate which allowed them to produce high-quality Prädikat wines year after year. Many of these wines won top honours at several international competitions. Other wine-makers in the region, impressed with the success, planted their own vines. However, high yields limited the quality.
So, a group of young wine-makers from Austria's largest wine-growing community, Gols, as well as from other villages including Illmitz, Weiden, Möchhof, Halbturn, Frauenkirchen, Podersdorf and Apetlon, worked hard to improve the growths. Slowly but surely, their sweet wines developed a reputation for excellent quality. Superb dry, full-bodied white and red wines followed. And now, regional associations, such as "Pannobile", "Seewinkler Impressionen" and "Pannonischer Reigen" are helping to set initiatives for the region's future.
