Franz Wilhelm Langguth Erben

Franz Wilhelm Langguth Erben GmbH & Co. KG was a German winery headquartered in Traben-Trarbach.

The company was founded in 1789 by Franz Wilhelm Langguth.

It also produces the herbal liqueur Wurzelpeter under its Berliner Bärensiegel brand.

The winery was acquired by Les Grands Chais de France (GCF) in the spring of 2024,[1] a French conglomerate that focuses on wine and spirit sales.

Subsequently, in the span of less than 2 months after the takeover, the GCF group announced the closure of the Traben-Trarbach site for what they claimed to be a "lack of profitability,"[2] ending the more than 2 centuries old winemaking history of Langguth in the region Traben-Trarbach by August 31, 2024.
