Peter Baumann

Where They Are Now

Before wine, Peter Baumann’s training and working life moved through music and production. He trained at American/German Community School, West Berlin, then worked as a cover-band musician performing at G.I. Clubs in West Berlin. He later became a member at Tangerine Dream in West Berlin (1971–1977), a period that placed him in a setting shaped by discipline, repetition, and experimentation. He then founded Private Music (until 1996), extending that authorship into a different kind of enterprise. His present professional profile is spread across several fields, and each one names a different form of stewardship or production. Peter Baumann is solo artist of Solo artist (since 1977), founder of Baumann Foundation (since 2009), director of Several real estate and natural resource companies, board member of California Institute of Integral Studies, fellow of Mind and Life Institute, and film composer and audio post-production professional of Peter Baumann. Read together, those roles describe a working life built around making, managing, and keeping a long line of output moving. Baumann Weingut (Oberhallau) (2023–present) brings that broader background into the vineyard. The site is not presented as a blank slate but as inherited ground, and Baumann frames it directly: “Our vineyard in Churzewäg was planted by my grandparents more than 40 years ago.” The relevant fact here is not sentiment but continuity: a planted row becomes a working responsibility when it passes from one generation to the next.
