The hamlet of Aschbacherhof is part of the local community Trippstadt in the district of Kaiserslautern ( Rhineland-Palatinate ).

geography

The Aschbacherhof, which consists of only a few buildings, is located south of Kaiserslautern and north of Trippstadt in the Palatinate Forest at an altitude of 315  m on an alluvial sand hill above the Aschbach floodplain . This flows around 100 m north of the building complex, which is a listed building.

For centuries the valley floor was covered with water. It was kept in ponds that were used for fish farming . Today the valley is largely drained.

history

Tower of the former Church of St. Blaise

The valley is dominated by the three-storey Romanesque-early Gothic tower of the former church of St. Blaise . Opposite the building is the four-sided Aschbacherhof with its three mansions, which were owned by the Flersheimers and the heirs of the Wilensteiners . The church was the parish church for the surrounding villages and farms until it lost its function after the construction of a larger church in Trippstadt. As early as 1786, the church was no longer usable because the roof had collapsed. As it passed into private ownership, it fell into disrepair, and the stones of the nave were used to build other buildings. Only the Romanesque-early Gothic tower was preserved. The settlement was first mentioned in documents as "Aspach" in 1215. It formed the parish seat of the Wilenstein rule in the county of Falkenstein , whose Wilenstein Castle has been preserved a good 4 km south as a partially restored ruin above the Karlstal near Trippstadt.

The lords of Flersheim, as the later owners of the settlement, had the so-called manor houses built in 1566, which can be easily identified by their Renaissance portals with coats of arms and the year. The alliance coats of arms of Flersheim and Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler prove that the portals go back to the couple Friedrich von Flersheim († 1575) and Amalia Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler. Friedrich von Flersheim was the second cousin of the Speyer bishop Philipp von Flersheim , who in turn was related by marriage to the rebellious knight Franz von Sickingen .

The Aschbacherhof was bought in 1719 by the Palatinate Colonel Hunter Baron Ludwig Anton von Hacke (1682–1752); The hamlet remained in the possession of his family, who lived at Trippstadt Castle, until the end of the feudal period. In the course of the French Revolution , the farm and the associated land were auctioned. Since then they have been in changing private ownership. In 1816, a year after the Congress of Vienna , the court, like the entire Palatinate, came to the Kingdom of Bavaria .
