A search for traces from within the family — not an estate website.

Dr Thomas Prüm
Dr Thomas PrümAuthor of Prüm & Wein

Prüm & Wein is a private project by Dr Thomas Prüm, a lawyer from the old Wehlen wine family who lives in Munich and is a partner at an international law firm in Frankfurt. The site gathers what can be said about the family, its branches and its estates — with pictures from family collections, family trees and sources.

It belongs to a small family of sites about the Moselle: moselriesling.com on Riesling from the Moselle, Saar and Ruwer, jodocus.de on Jodocus Prüm, who built the Wehlen sundial, and juedischemosel.de on Jewish traces along the river. All of them are gathered at pruem.one.
