Paul Gotthard Henschke
Following his father's death in 1873, Paul Gotthard Henschke took over the running of the Keyneton property. Born in 1847, he was the third child of Johann Christian's second marriage and one of eight children. He married Johanne Mathilde Schulz in 1871. The year before Johann Christian's death the North Rhine property had been transferred from father to son for the sum of five shillings, the cost of the transfer fee. Paul Gotthard continued the farming and winemaking tradition of his father, and when more vineyards were planted wine production gradually increased. Later, in 1891, he purchased land with a small planting of vines near the Gnadenberg Church, which was to become known as the Hill of Grace vineyard.
Like his father before him Paul Gotthard was actively involved in the local community, and in 1874 he became one of the first constables of the District Council of North Rhine. In 1888 he formed the first known brass band in the district, which was called the Henschke Family Brass Band. Instruments were mostly brought from Germany and three of them, a euphonium, a clarinet and a cornet, are still in the family’s possession at Keyneton. Paul Gotthard was organist of the Gnadenberg Church for many years.
