Abstract: Evolutionary historical and present-day environmental interests lead to portraying the worldwide and historically proven variety of 'Binkel' wheat (Triticum compactum) which often comes under synonyms describing distinctions between numerous awned and unawned varieties as well as between summer and winter forms. This article summarises the various theories of descent of Binkel with its start in the Caucasus region, Binkel's perception in the 20th century, and ongoing conservation initiatives. Baking properties and usages of straw are described with a focus on the Alps and especially on the Austrian-German border region, where numerous recultivation projects emerged recently. Overall, this fourth article concludes a series of years-long research activities led by the author.
