Tesdorpf family

The Tesdorpf Family is a political and merchant Hanseaten family from Lübeck and Hamburg Germany. The Tesdorpf's were an old Patrician family in Lübeck before Peter Hinrich Tesdorpf became the mayor of Lübeck in 1715.[1] Peter Hinrich Tesdorpf founded Carl Tesdorpf, the first wine trading house in Germany.[2][3]

Rotspon Wine

Carl Tesdorpf is primarily known for making Rotspon, a French red wine that ages as it is shipped from Bordeaux to Lübeck.[4] The Tesdorpf wine shop was known to supply wine to Germanic and Northern European royalty, as well as Napoleon.[5] In 1999, Carl Tesdorpf was acquired by Hawesko Holding. The Carl Tesdorpf wine shop is also reported to be the oldest wine shop in Germany.[6][7][8]

In 1840, Edward Tesdorpf moved to the island of Lolland in Denmark, where he became a farmer, landowner, and sugar manufacturer.[9] Many of the estates that Edward and his son Adolph acquired have remained in the Tesdorpf family, including Orupgaard, Pandebjerg, Gjedsergaard, Ny Kirstineberg, Gjorslev and Søholm.[10][11][12][13]

gollark: Possibly. It might be a mindset thing, inasmuch as I prefer having somewhat upgradeable/repairable hardware and more open/flexible software stacks because I have tons of time to tweak stuff.
gollark: Also, you can get it on sane non-Apple laptops without the hassle.
gollark: No, Linux is probably better in terms of resource efficiency and being able to connect to things.
gollark: Games even work! Mostly! I just have games which are designed by indie developers (mostly) who care about Linux I guess.
