history

In 1315 the farm was first mentioned in the Obertraisaer Mark. Johann Albert Dippel had the property destroyed in the Thirty Years' War rebuilt in 1710. In 1730 a settlement was made between Nieder-Traisa, Ober-Ramstadt and the Landgraviate, whereby the Ober-Traisaer district with the Dippelshof and the associated farmland fell to Nieder-Traisa. The name Dippelshof appears in documents for the first time in 1783. The Dippelshof was a popular destination for the Darmstadt population as early as the 19th century. The Dippelshof was also mentioned in the play “ Datterich ” by Ernst Elias Niebergall . After several changes of ownership, Friedrich-Wilhelm Bullrich acquired the estate in 1898. The building and the art-historically very important extension of the late Art Nouveau period were commissioned by him. In 1911/12 a music hall, a gentleman's room, a lady's room and guest rooms were built according to plans by Edmund Körner . Edmund Körner was, like Bernhard Hoetger and Johann Vincenz Cissarz , who were involved in the interior design, a member of the Darmstadt artists' colony . After 1956 three other owners followed. In 1993 the planning company Weber und Partner acquired the property, which had been abandoned to decay. In coordination with the preservation authorities, the substance of the building was preserved and expanded. The music hall - the "Blue Hall" - was reconstructed and represented, together with the ladies' and gentlemen's rooms, the late period of Darmstadt Art Nouveau .

The blue hall (music hall)

The gem of the later Darmstadt Art Nouveau was built around 1912 as a music hall according to plans by Prof. Körner. The ceiling, the interior and the inlaid floor were badly damaged in a water pipe burst in 1953. The mural by Johann Vincenz Cissarz “Three Women by the Sea” and the relief sculpture by Bernhard Hoetger “Three Amazons” as well as the marble inlaid on the walls, depicting flower arrangements, have been preserved, albeit badly damaged . Circular crystal chandeliers illuminate the hall. There are quarter-circle corner showcases in three round niches. In the fourth alcove, a spiral staircase leads to the master bedroom on the upper floor.

The Dippelshof today

The Nassauische Siedlungsgesellschaft sold the farm in 1958 to the farmer Hardt from Kelsterbach am Main , who had to move there because of the construction of the refinery . His son Heinrich tried to revive the restaurant tradition and set up a small tavern in the main building, into which he also included the Blue Hall after a simple but unfortunately not professional restoration. But in 1978 he sold the property to the community of Mühltal.

The current owner is the planning company Weber and Partner (Mühltal), which acquired the run-down property in 1993 for a new economic use. The main building was preserved in its substance; it has been completely renovated on the outside. The Blue Hall was reconstructed taking into account the requirements of the preservation of monuments . The outbuildings, barn and stables have been completely renovated and converted into a condominium that adjoins the main building.

A hotel-restaurant was set up in the main building, which includes the Blue Hall. The guest rooms were built on the upper floors. There are also three conference rooms of various sizes. The adjoining the main building small park was so prepared that access to the hotel restaurant with a terrace, also called patio leads is used. On September 17, 1997, the house was handed over to its intended use in a simple opening ceremony. The Huthmann family has run the Hofgut as a hotel-restaurant to this day.

Personalities

Johann Albert Dippel

There is no doubt that the name Dippelshof goes back to a member of the Dippel family of pastors, who have lived in Nieder-Ramstadt since 1678. The buyer of the devastated Obertraisaer Hof is not, as has long been assumed, the theologian and later also known as a chemist Johann Konrad Dippel , "who was one of the leading spirits in all of Germany in the age of Pietism", but rather him younger brother Johann Albert - born in March 1678 in Nieder-Ramstadt.

Albert Dippel wanted - and should, according to his father's wishes - be his successor in the parish of the Nieder-Ramstadt parish . This was prevented by intrigue. In 1704 and 1709, Johann Albert switched from theology to medicine out of disappointment at the failed promotion, perhaps also out of annoyance at the disciplinary investigation imposed on his brother Johann Konrad in 1704 (because of his theological "heresies").

In 1710, Johann Albert bought the Obertraisaer Hof. It couldn't have been his brother Johann Konrad, because he was in Holland at the time to get to safety from the hunts of the Hessian consistory . Johann Albert apparently had the intention to create a family residence and to work as a farmer.

Dippel had apparently taken over financially. Even a promised four-year exemption from all taxes did not give him sufficient relief, so that he sold the farm in 1713. The very short period of Dippel's seat on the Obertraisaer Hof (1710–1713) was enough to connect his name with his name inexorably. Quoted from Gernot Scior: “The reason is to be found in the fact that Johann Albert Dippel has the merit of having turned the devastated property into court again. Then he was, alongside his brother Johann Konrad, the most interesting and well-known personality in the local area in the first half of the 18th century. "

Friedrich Wilhelm Bullrich

Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Wilhelm Bullrich (born February 19, 1847, † March 11, 1926) from Herrnstadt (in what was then the district of Guhrau , administrative district of Breslau in Lower Silesia ) acquired the Dippelshof in 1898 as a family seat. Then Bullrich said goodbye and devoted himself to the further expansion of the Dippelshof fruit farm. From 1908 to 1910 he had the Art Nouveau extension built, giving the courtyard the overall impression of a manor house . The Dippelshof remained in the family until it was sold in 1956.

For the community of Traisa , the seat of the generous personality of Bullrich on the Dippelshof turned out to be extremely advantageous. The tax payments of the very wealthy man exceeded the total tax revenue of the then Traisa municipality. From this tax money , but also from donations from Bullrich, the community was able to finance the school, roads, water pipes and other things. During two winters Bullrich had the path leading to the Dippelshof, which was completely silted up, paved with stone rubble.

The First World War brought this to a sudden end. Two of Bullrich's four sons died in the war (Wilhelm Bullrich in 1914 at the Battle of Bertrix , Ernst Bullrich in 1918 when a submarine sank in the Irish Sea), another died early. The fourth son, who because of his poor health condition in Nonnenhorn at Bodensee lived, continued after the death of their parents (1926 and 1934) manager , but was able to the decline of the goods not be prevented, that the family Bullrich the Dippelshof 1,956 sold. Friedrich Wilhelm Bullrich and his second wife Marie Antoinette are buried in the private cemetery across from the park. At the grave there are memorial stones to the two fallen sons.
