history
The Buchenauerhof was already mentioned in the early 18th century. There was once a brick factory here, so the farm was also called the brick yard . The neglected property was replaced from 1865 by a country house and contemporary farm buildings, and extensive forests were cleared. The farm was leased to the sugar factory in Waghäusel and offered jobs for day laborers. The country house burned down and was replaced by a castle-like building by August Benckiser , in which a spiral staircase of the castle in Waldangelloch, which was demolished after 1899, was built. In 1953 the estate passed into the ownership of the Sprenger tenant family, who had been working since 1940, and temporarily served as a children's recreation home for Caritas . In 1971, the "German Mission Community", today DMG interpersonal , acquired the castle building and now uses the facility as a training and recreation center. A country inn and the golf course of the Sinsheim Golf Club are located near the castle.
