History
Erwin Baur Apples were developed in 1928 at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut, Muncheberg Mark, Germany from a Duchess of Oldenburg seedling (some say more probably a seedling of Geheimrat Doktor Oldenburg apple tree.) The apple was named in 1955 after the founder of the Institute Erwin Baur (1875-1933), a geneticist.

The Institute is also responsible for the development of Astillisch Apples, Kalco Apples and Tumanga Apples.
