history
Altwiesloch is one of several Wiesloch settlement centers, but not, as the name could imply, the oldest. While the capital to the west was mentioned as early as the 9th century and has at least three historical settlement centers, Altwiesloch was probably only created with the construction of a moated castle to protect mines and smelting facilities in the middle of the 12th century. The name Altwiesloch then appears for the first time around the year 1400 for the Altwiesloch moated castle and was ultimately carried over to the surrounding settlement, which was given its own mark in the 15th century.
Castle and place have a checkered history of ownership. The Lords of Weinsberg owned the castle long before 1250 and sold it to the Count Palatine near the Rhine until 1277 . In the period that followed, they had all sovereign rights. When the Palatinate inheritance was divided in 1410, the castle and town of Altwiesloch came together with Wiesloch to Otto I von Pfalz-Mosbach , who sold the Altwiesloch property to Schwarz-Reinhard von Sickingen in 1414 . After his death around 1439 the property passed to the Lords of Neipperg , after the death of Engelhard von Neipperg in 1495 and inheritance disputes in 1499 to Messrs. Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler and in 1552 to Georg von Nippenburg . He died in 1571 and left four daughters who shared the property among themselves. The front castle (i.e. the residential tower of the castle) went to Katharina von Nippenburg, who was married to Hans Georg Schenk von Winterstetten. The rear castle and the mill went to Franziska Flora von Nippenburg, who was married to Philipp Gans von Otzberg. Further property shares went to Maria von Nippenburg and Hans Jörg von Frauenburg, who built today's town house as a mansion west of the castle , and to Anna von Nippenburg and Wilhelm von Dorbenck, who had their seat in the Wiesloch Freihof .
Numerous other changes of ownership (named the Fock von Wallstatt, the Lords of Merkau, the Lords of Gemmingen , a Junker Johann Scheibel, the Lords of Helmstatt , the Lords of Berlichingen and the Teutonic Knight Augustin Oswaldt von Lichtenstein) took place in the early 18th century the gentlemen of Bettendorff , the gentlemen of Auerbach and the gentlemen of Lietzen local gentlemen in Altwiesloch. The Bettendorff part came in the early 19th century to the Lords of Sparre-Croneberg, who sold their Altwiesloch property to middle-class families shortly before 1850. The Lietzen share changed hands several times after 1773 and around 1840 also came into civil hands. Auerbach's share was confiscated from the state of the Electorate of the Palatinate due to the debts of an Auerbach wife and acquired by the Electorate Chancellor Georg August von May , later in the possession of the Lords of Leoprechting , afterwards it was the Baden state domain and came into the possession of the Altwiesloch community around 1850.
Altwiesloch was a very small place until recently. In addition to the aristocratic owners of the castle and the manorial estate, only the farmers, millers and day laborers who were required to manage the property and the agricultural land lived in the village. In 1400 two farmers are mentioned, in 1691 there were 16 adult men, in 1750 there were 38 men. The historical center essentially only includes the buildings around the castle courtyard. In the course of the 19th century the castle came into civil ownership and was demolished and built over. The manor house came into the possession of the community around 1850 and was used as a town hall and school house. The place only grew to its present size through the designation of new development areas in the 20th century.
Between 1803 and 1842 Altwiesloch changed several times between being independent and belonging to the Wiesloch community, to which it was permanently incorporated in 1908 .
Attractions
The Altwiesloch moated castle is only recognizable as a castle stables in the courtyard . The castle was demolished in the 19th century and the site was leveled. One of the buildings in the castle courtyard was built on the foundations of the residential tower, in the gardens of the buildings in the castle courtyard there are still remains of old walls.
The Pankratius Chapel has a late medieval sacristy and a Gothic choir. In both historical components frescoes from the period before 1440 and after 1500 were uncovered. In the chapel, which possibly goes back to the residential tower of a noble family, several grave slabs of Messrs. Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler have been preserved. Valentin Peter Feuerstein created the stained glass windows of the chapel on the occasion of the new building of a nave in 1972.
The town house was built around 1575 by Hans Jörg von Frauenburg as another mansion next to the old castle, went through numerous changes of ownership and has been used by the community as a town hall and school since around 1850.
