The castle Biebelnheim is a completely Outbound Wasserburg , or at today's municipal area of the municipality Biebelnheim in Alzey-Worms in Rhineland-Palatinate . In 1787, the historian Widder noted in his description of the Electoral Palatinate on the Rheine : "The old castle is completely dilapidated, and apart from a Thurn there is nothing left of it". The historian Schaab also noted in 1851 that the tower of the old castle was still there.
location
The castle was located in the valley of the Nebenbach ( Heimersheimer Bach ) of the Selz , shortly before it flows into it, possibly already in the district of Gau-Odernheim .
history
When and by whom the castle was built is not known. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the castle was the center of the presumably very small rule of Biebelnheim. In documents from the years 1252 and 1254 a Gerlach von Biebelnheim ( Gerlacus de Bybelnheim ) is mentioned. In 1276 an Arnold von Bibilnheim appears as a Hohenfels vassal to Mommenheim ( Mummerheim ).
Hermann, Herr zu Hohenfels , sold the bailiwick and rule of Biebelnheim with all rights, freedoms and affiliations to Count Palatine Ruprecht the Younger for 500 guilders in 1382 . A little later, in 1384, knight Gerhard Vetzer von Geispitzheim ( Gabsheim ) also sold Biebelnheim Castle to Count Palatine Ruprecht. According to another document dated November 15, 1391, Archbishop Konrad von Mainz sold the village of Bybelheim with all its accessories to Count Palatine Ruprecht the Elder and Ruprecht the Younger . Ruprecht the Elder, however, no longer lived in 1391. How the place Bybelnheim came to the Hohenfels family and from them to the Archdiocese of Mainz is unknown.
The castle was probably destroyed in the chaos of war in the 17th century. Remnants still existed until the end of the 18th or mid-19th century.
