- Geilweilerhof Institute for Grape Breeding
The Geilweilerhof Institute for Grape Breeding ("Institut für Rebenzüchtung Geilweilerhof") in Siebeldingen, Germany specializes in breeding grape vine varieties that combine resistance to fungal diseases, frost, and drought with superior wine qualities. It is part of a federal German agricultural research and breeding institute called "Bundesanstalt für Züchtungsforschung an Kulturpflanzen". It developed the successful red Regent grape. It has experimental stations in Palatinate, Rheingau and Franconia and maintains germplasm of over 15,000 varieties. It has published the journal "Vitis" since 1957.
On 1 January 2008 it was fused with the Julius Kühn-Institut, the Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants.
