The community center in Altwiesloch , a district of Wiesloch in the Rhine-Neckar region in Baden-Württemberg , is a purpose-built 1575 mansion, which is used as a school and administrative building since the mid-19th century.

history

The origins of the building lie in the manorial estate that stretched west of the Altwiesloch moated castle . The castle and town of Altwiesloch were initially each in one hand, before ownership of the Nippenburg inheritance split into four parts after the death of Georg von Nippenburg in 1571. The estate came to Maria von Nippenburg, who was married to Hans Jörg von Frauenburg.

Hans Jörg had a manor house built in the northern area of ​​the property between 1575 and 1580. Shortly afterwards he killed one of the gentlemen from Helmstatt in an argument , he was imprisoned in Mannheim. Due to the accumulated debts, his family sold the property in 1604 to the Wiesloch Junker Johann Scheibel. His son Heinrich Ludwig bequeathed the property to the children of Johann Konrad von Helmstatt in 1688, whereby the property at the manor house went to Anna Christina von Helmstatt, who was married to Georg von Auerbach but was a widow since 1677. In 1699 she bequeathed the property to her son Johann Dietrich von Auerbach, who died childless a year after his mother and bequeathed his goods to his seven sisters and the knightly canton of Kraichgau .

The manor house served the sister Albertine Louise as a widow's residence from 1710. For financial reasons, she sold her Altwiesloch property in 1718 to the Electoral Palatinate government and court judge Nisette von Löwenburg, but reserved a release right and later sold the property to her son-in-law Johann Reinhard von Süchteln. His wife Hedwig Juliane von Wintzingerode owed the Sinsheim Jew Baruch Weyl, which is why the Palatinate government moved into Altwiesloch and transferred it to Weyl. This sold the property to the Palatinate court chancellor Georg August von May. After the death of his daughters in 1780, the lords of Leoprechting acquired the manor house with lands.

In the first half of the 19th century, the Baden state then acquired the property, first built a domain and then in 1850 assigned the manor house to the Altwiesloch community, who set up a town hall and school there.
