history

The origin of the name Bayerhof is unclear. Perhaps Count Arnold von Andechs brought Bavarian colonists to the Main in the 11th century when he married Gisela von Schweinfurt . The Bayerhof was first mentioned in a document as "Beyere" in 1257 as part of the Würzburg Monastery . It was economically important because it was at the intersection of two elevated roads. In 1368 the farm was called "Beyern" as a hamlet.

After several changes of ownership in the Middle Ages and in the early modern period, Baron von Dungern-Dehren came into possession of the Bayerhof in 1864. He had the buildings that still existed in the 20th century, a castle-like building and several utility buildings, erected. In 1912 the Bayerhof came to the family of Count Friedrich von Ortenburg , who still own the property today and had the burial place built there. In 1984 the mansion was demolished.
