    According to tradition, Abbot Degen brought the green Silvaner vine from Austria (Silvania; cf. Transylvania) to Franconia in 1665, where the resilient vine was successfully cultivated and is now THE vine of Franconia.

      At the edge of the vineyard, below the Schmachtenberg castle ruins, a stone figure in a monk's robe commemorates Joh. Kaspar DEGEN, who was born in Zeil in 1625.
