A few years later Leopold Sellner came to Rust, perhaps he had known Carl von Lamprecht from the good old times when Lamprecht has made his big deals with the army. Sellner dropped his last anchor and married the daughter of Carl von Lamprecht. They got a son, he took over the winery in 1935. This part of the history of our house ist he reason why we, only in espacially good years, give the best red wine the name "Alter Admiral". |

1945, immidiatly after the war and in a fully destroyed country, a big part of the economy and sometimes simply the way of survinging depended on a smart chain of barter transactions. So my grandfather came to Rust and tried to change salt against wine for his tavern in Lower Austria. He had a random encounter with Sellner jun. and they started talking about this and that, Sellner jun. was frustated about his private situation and my grandfather was a real entrepeneur. Suddenly he was very fond of the the region and her opportunities. A few weeks later they met again, at the bar in the destroyed trainstation in Wiener Neustadt, and there they signed a lease agreement about the winery "Marienhof". |

My grandfather was a very creative and smart guy, he had always a feeling for promising markets. He tried, during this turbulent and poor years, always to offer services and products far away from the usual and after 1945 state regulations have not been the first goal of the goverment. My grandfather has the ideas and my father worked. At first they started with a mobile distillery, with the earned money they could by a new tractor in 1947(!). This engine was used for paid work, like the clearing of the land for building plots, fort he harvest of reed and much more. In the meanwhile the distillery was technical upgraded and legalised, and in the year 1953 they earned enough money, just with their brandy, that the lease agreement with Sellner jun. could be cancelled and the "Marienhof" bought and so completly acquired. |
