Dalberger Hof (Oppenheim)

The Dalberger Hof in Oppenheim was the local residential and farm building of the Dalberg family after they had received a Burgmannenstelle at Landskron Castle in 1342 as a fief via Oppenheim . The buildings were destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689.

Geographical location

The Dalberger Hof was located on the property that is now called "Dalbergerstrasse 21".

To the south of the Dalberger Hof was the von Frankenstein farm , to the north that of the Lords of Gemmingen , later in the hands of the Wolfskehlen family, families between whom they married several times.

history

Castle loan

Dieter II (named from 1334; † July 23, 1371) married Katharina after 1334, widowed von Scharffenstein († July 8, 1351), daughter of Klaus and Nesa Salman zum Silberberg. With her, extensive property came into the family, including the Burgmannenlehen, an imperial fiefdom that the Dalbergers had held since 1342.

To manage this property, the Dalberger Hof was built and operated in Oppenheim. Allegedly it was acquired in 1455. In the following centuries Oppenheim was one of the places of residence of one of the branches of the branching family of the Chamberlain von Worms , who later called themselves "von Dalberg".

Major alterations were made under Wolfgang IX at the turn of the 16th to the 17th century.

Famous guests

The Dalberger Hof must have been one of the best equipped in Oppenheim, because it has repeatedly served as accommodation for celebrities traveling through. These included:

• Elector Friedrich III. from the Palatinate when he came to Oppenheim on May 12, 1565 for a religious talk.
• From June 2 to June 4, 1613, Frederick V of the Palatinate, who later became the “Winter King”, and his wife, Elisabeth Stuart, lived here . From here they traveled on to Worms .

Building

An extensive cellar-corridor system has been preserved from the late medieval period, which continues under the street and also under the adjacent properties on the opposite side of the street (see also: Oppenheim cellar labyrinth ). It is the only part of the complex that still exists today.

In the residential building there was a large hall in which, according to a description from 1643, “in the right mansion, the most prestigious German heroes, kaysers, kings and princes, from Tuisconn the first German bit of Carolum Quintum with her own clothes and beautiful colors artificially painted and what every thoughtful thing done, with Latin and German verses listed underneath ”.

When Oppenheim was destroyed by the French military under General Ezéchiel de Mélac on May 31, 1689, the structure of the Dalberger Hof was largely destroyed. In 1728 the area was still undeveloped. Wolfgang Eberhard II von Dalberg (1679–1737), who was Oberamtmann in Oppenheim until 1737 , lived outside. Christian Georg Schütz the Elder drew the ruins of the Dalberger Hof in 1770.

But it wasn't until 1804 that the property was sold to Jakob Reuter, who built a one-story house with a cattle shed there. Before 1840 or the beginning of the 1840s, Abraham Frowein (1797–1848), son of the former mayor of Elberfeld of the same name and a textile manufacturer there, bought the property, built a summer residence here and dedicated himself to viticulture. For the historicist villa built here by Frowein's nephew, August Frowein, in 1882, see: here .

Worth knowing

In the Dalberger Hof in Oppenheim, the family kept the sword that Friedrich VI. von Dalberg had worn at the Reichstag in Worms in 1495 .

In front of the Dalberger Hof there has been the knight's fountain (also: gender fountain ) since 1546 , which is still there today. It is adorned with the coats of arms of the neighbors, Dalberg, Frankenstein and Gemmingen.
