Like all others, the peasants in Vienna were allowed to sell their products only to shops and inns until 1752. The heavy burden of taxes and poor earnings forced them to ask for a change in their situation this year from the then Queen of Austria and Hungary, Maria Theresia. The result was the permission, under the sign of Föhrenbusches, to sell their goods themselves and tax-free. In gratitude for this concession, the winemakers of the locations around Vienna made festive decorated Thanksgiving crowns for their country mistress. However, this viniculture right was successfully fought by the Viennese city fathers, who thereby lost revenue, and was withdrawn in 1756. It was not until 1784 that this law, modified by Joseph II, was reinstated. The Winzerkrone has preserved its place in the tradition of the wine growers to this day.
