history
In 932 Abenheim came into the possession of the Fulda monastery through a royal donation . At the beginning of the 13th century, the Counts of Leiningen were awarded some Abenheim property as a Vogteilehen .
In 1275 the Abenheim estates were given to the Counts of Nassau as marriage goods . In 1295 and again before 1362 these pledged Abenheim. At the beginning or middle of the 14th century, the remaining Abenheim lands and rights that the Fulda monastery still owned fell to other noble families, such as B. the Counts of Sponheim . In 1358 Abenheim came back to the Fulda Monastery through repurchase, whereby they continued to pledge the property in case of need. In 1405 the Counts of Katzenelnbogen were briefly awarded by the abbot of the Fulda Abenheim monastery.
A documentary evidence can be provided for the castle itself from the first half of the 15th century, whereby more of a small residential and defense system can be spoken of than a castle.
In 1473 the knights Hans and Dietz von Wachenheim claimed that they were the knight Wolfgang III. Treasurer of Worms , called by Dalberg, of the family of Dalberg , their share had (the Pforthaus next to the gate and the stable next to the kitchen) passed. In 1475 Wolf Kämmerer von Dalberg came into the possession of the castle share of Count Reinhard von Westerburg, Lord of Westerburg and Schauenburg , who sold his property including the goods for 100 guilders.
In 1476, the Dean and Chapter of the St. Cyriacus Foundation in Neuhausen sold their share of the castle with "accessories" for 150 guilders to von Dalberg. This share only came back into the possession of the pen during the legal action. Landgrave Hesso von Leiningen was named as the previous owner and defendant. In 1487 von Dalberg pledged the Abenheim estate to the Elector Philip of the Palatinate , whereby the Dalbergers continued to increase their property and their rights until they finally rose to become local lords in the 16th century.
It remains to be seen whether the Counts of Leiningen or the other local lords, who named themselves after the place, are the actual builders of Abenheim Castle. Since the 16th century, the Dalberger Hof and Burggut have been leasing tenants for annual interest. It is also questionable whether the former castle was destroyed when it was built over by the Dalberger Amtshof in 1556.
Only a medieval cellar remains from the former castle. From a 1473 documentary mentioned small bailey ( forder Deil ) and the gatehouse ( porthüß ) together with kitchen and barn is nothing get more.
