Hermann Thurgau Louis Pasteur of Switzerland

Apples and the family of French Emperor Louis Napoleon III are Thurgau's figureheads. But not the world-famous Thurgau grape variety. This is actually astonishing, as the grape variety, like its breeder Hermann Thurgau (1850-1927), symbolizes an extraordinarily exciting chapter in Thurgau's history: From a baker's son from Tägerwilen, who became a respected scientist and co-founder of modern viticulture and created a grape variety with worldwide distribution that still bears his name today.
