The castle, once the mansion of the patrician family Holzschuher, became the headquarters of the military sports group Hoffmann for a few years in 1974 and has been used as a cultural meeting place since 1976.

In remnants, partly offset, the former Praun'sche manor is still there (Irrhainstraße).

Local history

Almoshof was first mentioned in a document in 1352 as Malmshof (to Almanshof). Shortly after it was first mentioned, the Nuremberg patrician family Holzschuher owned land in Almoshof, exercised rulership of the village and the community and built the first mansion in the early 15th century, over which they granted the imperial city the right to open in 1517. In the event of war, the council should therefore have occupied the seat with troops. The manor house (Almoshofer Hauptstrasse 49-53) remained in the possession of the Barons von Holzschuher until it was sold to the city of Nuremberg in 1941. The baroque garden, which was once located at the rear, has disappeared, and the historic stub pan glazing that was still in place in 1957 has been removed. The manor still has the garden room on the ground floor and a room with a stuccoed ceiling on the upper floor. Today the Holzschuher-Schlösschen is looked after by the municipal office for culture and leisure and is used as a culture shop.

Other Nuremberg patricians followed later with their castles. During the Second Margrave War , the place and the four mansions were destroyed and rebuilt in the following years. In addition to the Holzschuher Castle, these were the manor houses of the Praun (Irrhainstraße 19-25; built in 1524 by the Starck family, sold to the Praun in 1537, who kept the seat until the older line died out in 1867; the “Praunsche Sitz” became around 1870 demolished, only the baroque Voithaus Irrhainstrasse 25 has been preserved); then the manor of the Stromer (Almoshofer Hauptstrasse 84, since 1517 in changing ownership, from 1586 seat of the Stromer, destroyed in 1943, the land is still owned by the family); also the seat of the Imhoff (Irrhainstraße 8, 1547 - approx. 1750 Imhoff, then von Thill, von Peßler and from 1779 von Praun, the manor largely destroyed in 1943).

history

1517: First documented mention, built by the Holzschuher patrician family . A replica of the family coat of arms (with the typical wooden shoe) can be seen above the entrance door.

1552/53: Burned down in the Margrave War.

1692/93: Reconstruction of the castle in the form it still has today: a two-storey building with a horseshoe-shaped floor plan made of sandstone blocks and ancillary buildings. The showpiece of the baroque palace is the spiral staircase made from a tree trunk.

1941: The castle is sold by the former district president Wilhelm von Holzschuher for 70,000 Reichsmarks to the city of Nuremberg, which wants to set up a guest house there (e.g. for the Nazi party rallies ), but this is not done due to the war. After World War II, it served as an emergency shelter for bombed-out families, some of whom lived in the house until 1960. After ten years of vacancy, neo-Nazi Karl-Heinz Hoffmann (so-called Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann) signed a 25-year lease for the property.

1975: The city of Nuremberg terminates the contract to the right-wing extremist and military sports group founder Karl-Heinz Hoffmann .

1976: Founding of the Almoshof Castle Meeting Center . Purpose of the association: To renovate the building of the castle little by little and to offer a varied leisure and cultural program, especially for the garlic countries.

1978/79: The first adjoining building (now known as the swallow's nest and conference room) is handed over to its intended use, it serves as an office and event location. Two other buildings are being extensively renovated, including the main building. In addition, two side wings serve as a barn. A children's shop with a playground and an ecological garden has been located in the right side building since 1983.

1986: The facility is included in the city's chain of culture shops and the Almoshof Palace culture shop is opened.

Culture shop

One of Nuremberg's 11 culture shops is located in Almoshof. The culture shop Schloss Almoshof, located in the Holzschuherschlösschen, is a cultural center and meeting place for the outer north of Nuremberg and the Knoblauchsland. The offer ranges from exhibitions of contemporary art, concerts and workshops, literary offers, children's offers, creative offers, hikes as well as regular groups and courses. There is also a Christmas market and an art market in summer. The main building of the castle is the place for exhibitions and a small café. In the outbuildings there is a seminar room and a multi-purpose room.

The facility's rooms can also be rented for meetings, training courses, seminars and private celebrations. Another outbuilding with a playground is used by a children's shop. The house is also a meeting place for the research group Cave and Karst Franconia.
