The Deidesheimer Hof in the Palatinate country town of Deidesheim is a courtyard from the early 18th century that is registered as an individual monument in the list of monuments of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate . The building stands on the market square in the center of the village and today houses a hotel with two restaurants. The Deidesheimer Hof gained fame through visits by the then Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl , who hosted international state guests here.
history
The building used to belong to the neighboring Dienheimer Hof , which was owned by the Prince-Bishops of Speyer , among others . After the French Revolution it went into private ownership. The property was later the parent company of Eckel, a large winery that also operated sparkling wine cellars in France. It was founded in 1867 by Fritz Eckel, who was later appointed Councilor of Commerce , and his brother Henry. From 1901 the winery was located in the villa of the Reichsrat Buhl . In the 1920s the Deidesheim winegrowers' cooperative bought the property and ran a restaurant here. In 1952 the building was expanded into a hotel.
The Deidesheimer Hof was taken over by the current owner family in 1971. The hotel was expanded in 2001 to include the neighboring Dienheimer Hof. Also in 2001 the Deidesheimer Hof was recognized as a five-star hotel in the German Hotel Classification . The Deidesheimer Hof includes the restaurants “St. Urban ”and“ Schwarzer Hahn ”, whose head chef is Stefan Neugebauer .
The Deidesheimer Hof became known through visits by international political celebrities, which Helmut Kohl had it catered for on state visits, including the Spanish royal couple Juan Carlos I and Sophia of Greece , the Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev , the Russian President Boris Yeltsin , the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the French President Jacques Chirac . At that time, the Deidesheimer Hof's head chef was Manfred Schwarz . The menu sequence often included Palatinate Saumagen , especially on earlier state visits; later - after the bad stomach had been the subject of frequent press reports - other dishes were served.
building
The Deidesheimer Hof has the address Weinstrasse 29 and is located on the market square in the historic city center of Deidesheim; The German Wine Route runs west of the building . It is a building that characterizes the square, which is important as a counterpart to the assembly of the town hall and Ulrichskirche on the west side of the market square. At its core, the property, a baroque courtyard, can be traced back to a new building at the beginning of the 18th century; on the western gable front and at the cellar entrance you can find the year 1703. The building was damaged in a fire in 1904 and restored under the direction of the Munich architect Gabriel von Seidl . The striking gables and bay windows in the neo-renaissance style also date from this period . The niche in the southwest corner of the building, in which there is a statue of Mary , was created around 1710.
Under the Deidesheimer Hof are mighty barrel-vaulted cellars. The Dienheimer Hof, which is directly connected to the Deidesheimer Hof, was once connected underground with a long ring cellar. The cellar ran under both buildings, stretching from Schlossstrasse to Weinstrasse. After the property was divided up, a wall was built in the basement to separate it.
Also noteworthy is the coat of arms room of the Deidesheimer Hof, which extends into the neighboring main building of the Dienheimer Hof. In 1902 the owner of the Deidesheimer Hof acquired a passage to the inner courtyard at this point; The owner of the Dienheimer Hof had the building rights. In 1952, instead of the passageway, the coat of arms room with neo-renaissance furnishings was laid out, so that now both buildings were literally interlinked.
The external staircase leading to the market square was laid out in the 1970s; there used to be a two-armed open staircase here.
