To Hagen's cherries:
Lost treasures - rediscovered in Hagen a.T.W.:
Lucien cherry: This variety was discovered around 1800 by Rentmeister Uellner on the Alt-Luneberg estate near Bremerhaven and spread from there to many other regions. In the second half of the 20th century, the lucien cherry was officially considered lost until it was rediscovered in Hagen a.T.W. in 2004. The yellow-red fruits ripen medium-early, are very tasty and are good for preserving.
Flamentiner: The variety probably originated near Angers in northern France in the second half of the 17th century. In 1804, it was listed in the catalog of the Paris National Nursery under the name "Le Flammentin". Due to a confusion of names, the variety was propagated in Thuringia as "Türkine". In Hagen a.T.W., the yellow-red variety is known under the local name "Leggeske". It was recently thought to have been lost, but was found again in Hagen a.T.W.
Dönissen's yellow cartilage cherry: The variety probably originated as a seedling in Guben/Neisse (Brandenburg) and was named after its breeder. It was first mentioned in literature in 1825 and is one of the few fully yellow cherry varieties, which is why it is also known as the "amber cherry". It ripens medium-late and is rarely eaten by birds due to its color. The sunny yellow fruit spread from Dönissens tastes heavenly!
