Tesdorpf family

The Tesdorpfs were an old Patrician family in Lübeck before Peter Hinrich Tesdorpf (Kaufmann, 1648) [de] became the mayor of Lübeck in 1715.

[2][3]Carl Tesdorpf is primarily known for making Rotspon [de], a French red wine that ages as it is shipped from Bordeaux to Lübeck.

[5] In 1999, Carl Tesdorpf was acquired by Hawesko Holding [de].

[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 Tesdorpf [da] acquired have remained in the Tesdorpf family, including Orupgaard, Pandebjerg, Gjedsergaard, Ny Kirstineberg [da], Gjorslev and Søholm (Magleby Stevns Sogn) [da].
