History of the Ball and the Coming One

The Order owned by the Teutonic Order in Ibersheim the first time in a on 20 February 1282 Customs privilege of King I. Rudolf mentioned. Due to earlier customs privileges for Koblenz, it is assumed that the Kommende Ibersheim already existed in 1253 and 1255 and belonged to Koblenz. A document from 1290 states that in that year a commander was at the head of the convent . For viticulture and the wine trade, Ibersheim had an important supplier function with wood and wooden barrels . Since the Grand Master's move to Marienburg in 1309, the master has drawn wine from the Koblenz Ballei, that is, Ibersheim wine, as chamber interest. The livestock population was considerable in 1411: 4 riding horses , 104 mother horses , 16 foals, 185 cattle and 134 pigs .

On August 22, 1417, the Paulsstift zu Worms cleared the Count Palatine Ludwig III. half of the court and the associated half of the commons , but subject to various rights. At the same time, the Count Palatinate was allowed to (to) buwen and (to) make a sloße and Behusunge in the aforementioned village of Ibersheim, as long as the Paulus monastery would not incur any costs or disadvantages

Adolf Trieb adds: “Although the Vogtei was now a lineage fiefdom, we hear in 1417 how the St. Pauls Foundation granted half of the court and the associated half of the commons to the Count Palatine out of a special inclination and better protection and umbrella sake . This cannot be a fief but a transfer of ownership, so that the people of Leiningen sometimes had to recognize the Count Palatinate as a feudal lord. "

On June 6, 1437 Eberhard von Nackenheim wrote to the Archbishop of Trier Raban von Helmstatt and sought protection against the attacks by the Count Palatine near the Rhine, Otto I as guardian of Ludwig IV , and the Burgrave of Alzey , Hermann IV von Rodenstein . If necessary, the Archbishop of Mainz Dietrich Schenk von Erbach should be approached.

Conflict with the Pauline pen

The Paulsstift in Worms also had property and rights in Ibersheim, so that points of contact and disputes were not absent. On January 7, 1299, Pope Boniface VIII entrusted the dean of the Xanten monastery with the decision in the dispute between the German House of Koblenz and the Paulus monastery in Worms. Independently of this, a year later on January 9, 1300, the Abbot of St. Panthaleon in Cologne was appointed on the same matter . The papal attempt at arbitration, however, was only at the beginning of the quarrels, which ultimately continued until the sale of the future.

After Hans Badenburg, known as Wittershausen , Komtur zu Ibersheim, escaped to the Premonstratensian Order in 1448 , the Grand Master reported from 1448-49 to the Procurator in Rome and at the same time to the Abbot of Arnstein Monastery near Obernhof , in whose monastery Badenburg had gone. This event was preceded by disputes: On February 1, 1445, Johann von Wysemburg zu Mergentheim wrote to the permanent procurator of the Teutonic Order in Rome, Andreas Ruperti, and reported on his negotiations with Eberhard von Nackenheim, Komtur in Koblenz, regarding the Ibersheim court and the disputes with Badenburg. Furthermore, on September 20, 1446, the House of Koblenz complained to the Grand Master about the looting of Ibersheim by Johann von Wittershausen.

Former Leininger property is bought back

On June 23, 1285, Friedrich IV. Von Leiningen († 1316) and his son Friedrich V. von Leiningen († 1327) sold the Bailiwick and its other permissions in the German House of Koblenz (Ballei Koblenz) for 200 pounds of Heller currency from Worms District of Ibersheim, namely the Salmfang and its other rights over the Rhine and the streams there.

The Grand Master was forced to sell part of his property because he was in great financial need because of the Thirteen Years' War . Therefore he tried to sell the Kommende Ibersheim of the Ballei Koblenz . On January 17, 1463, the governor and house commander of the Ballei Koblenz, Heitgin von Miele, sold the meadows on the other side of the Rhine to ten citizens of Nordheim , who are known in detail. Reinart Dude, Procurator of the Teutonic Order in Ibersheim, testified to the sale for 200 guilders .

Werner Overstolz , Komtur der Ballei Koblenz from 1464 to 1483, was looking for a buyer for the Ibersheimer Kommende for a long time. On July 22nd, 1465, Hesso von Leiningen-Dagsburg agreed to the purchase. With his wife Elisabeth, Countess Palatine near the Rhine and Duchess of Bavaria, he bought the remainder of the property of the Teutonic Order Coming Ibersheim:

  • two courtyards and a garden
  • 1700 acres of farmland
  • four and a half hundred acres of meadows to the right of the Rhine
  • three half hundred acres of rift (marshland)
  • the Rheinaue, called the red Wörth
  • the Salmengrund

The following were to be paid: 7103 Rheinische Gulden and 501 Malter Roggen Kölner Maßung on four dates. Of this, 2000 guilders were paid immediately and the first installment of 1000 guilders.

Landgrave Hesso died on March 8, 1467 and his wife almost exactly one year later on March 5, 1468. Both had no children. Hesso's sister, Margarethe von Leiningen, married to Reinhart III, was entitled to inheritance. from Westerburg . In this situation, the relative Emich VII von Leiningen († 1452) tried to dispute the legacy of Hesso. At the same time, the remaining purchase price of more than 4,000 guilders from the Teutonic Order was still outstanding. Thereupon Margarethe turned to Friedrich I (Palatinate) on March 24, 1467 . He signed a contract with Margarethe on June 2, 1467 that he should receive half of Ibersheim for his efforts. In addition, Margarethe turned to Reinhard I. von Sickingen , Bishop of Worms, who had the right to revert. The Eternal Peace was also of no use, because in the meantime Emich VIII von Leiningen was arming against the Electoral Palatinate and in 1504 invaded the Palatinate.

Decision of the Royal Court of Justice

The Teutonic Order had to wait for the remaining debt of 4,000 guilders to be settled until the inheritance disputes within the Leiningen county were settled. The contending parties were initially the Commandery of the Teutonic Order of Koblenz and Reinhard III. von Westerburg († 1449) and Margarete (1423–1468) as his second wife.

A final decision was made on May 8, 1481 before the then highest court in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, on behalf of Emperor Friedrich III. (HRR) The presiding judge was Archbishop Johann II of Baden . The parties to the litigation at the end of the very expensive inheritance dispute were the Commandery of the Teutonic Order of Koblenz and Count Reinhart I of Leiningen-Westerburg and Herr zu Schaumburg.

In the decision, the Count von Leiningen was granted ownership of the Ibersheim court. But he had to pay 4000 guilders to the Teutonic Order, which he received from Elector Philip the Sincere (1448–1508), due to the promise made by his grandmother Margarethe to Friedrich I (Palatinate) . With a further payment of 4600 guilders in the same year, the Electoral Palatinate owned the Ibersheim farm alone and was then able to build Ibersheim Castle as an official building for itself.

Interest and lease book

In the interest and lease book of the Kommende Ibersheim from 1402 to 1412, 16 places are named, which are spread over the area of ​​the Ballei Koblenz, from southern Ibersheim to the headquarters of the Ballei in Koblenz. Initially, the original was assigned to a wrong location in the historical archive of the city of Cologne due to illegibility. After the collapse of the archive in 2009, the original could only be recovered with severe damage. However, a film copy is available.
