history
The history of the Guntersblumer Domhof goes back to the year 1632. There the Zehnthof is named in a list of the Guntersblum goods subject to interest : “ Item 3 alg. gives a venerable Dhomb Capittell to Wormbß from her Zehendthzoff researched there near Wormbß Georg Apstein, near Oppenheim Wendell Rorman ”. This property was already the second tithe courtyard after the courtyard house and the tithe barn of the first tithe courtyard next to the churchyard in Guntersblumer Kirchgasse burned down in September 1620. In addition, the cathedral monastery urgently needed a new barn for tithe fruits. In the following, the Guntersblumer also proved itself in that the municipality of Zehentscheuer survived the Thirty Years War . After the war, Friedrich Salomon Dietz was the first leaseholder of the cathedral courtyard to be found in the documents from 1690 until at least autumn 1713. Under him, the 100-year-old barn was rebuilt on the property of the Zehnthof from around 1705.
From 1713 to 1724 Caspar Stallmann was the leaseholder of the cathedral courtyard. Because of his apparently bad work, his contract was not extended. The next tenant of the property was Friedrich Herbert from February 1725, who initially paid a deposit of 1,000 guilders . Another incentive for the cathedral chapter of the cathedral courtyard was that it wanted to pay 10 additional Malter Speltz a year in addition to the 30 Malter grain . Herbert finally died in mid-1727 and left his wife Anna Rosina as a widow. After the period of mourning, she married Johannes Bach about six months later in January 1728. In 1739 she finally dies too. Now Bach's achievements at the cathedral courtyard were heavily criticized, and in 1739 he received a notice from the community. The content was that he would keep " no good Farr oxen ". As a result, Bach was no longer a courtier. The next leaseholder of the Domhof in 1740 was Johann Adam Damast, who ran the farm until his death in 1749.
Subsequently, Johannes Buscher, who married Justina Damast in January 1750, became the new tenant of the cathedral courtyard. After the renewal of the contract, which had expired on February 22, 1752, the lease for Buscher is now 15 Malter Speltz, 5 Malter Barley and 15 guilders rent for the apartment building on the Domhof. In 1754 the canons of Worms had a new, large and representative cathedral courtyard house built on the cathedral courtyard to replace the old and dilapidated cathedral courtyard house. A large representative courtyard gate was also built. After Justina Buscher finally died, Johannes Buscher married Magdalena Linekamp in 1756. He then lived with her for seven years until his death in 1763 in the cathedral courtyard. Shortly afterwards, Buscher's widow finally married Ludwig Belzer from the neighboring town of Gimbsheim . Subsequently, numerous complaints came about Belzer as the leaseholder of the cathedral courtyard, including from the community of Guntersblum. After initially refusing to give in to his behavior as a tenant, Belzer did not react until he finally changed his behavior around 1765.
Belzer's wife finally died in 1783. In the following he ran the cathedral courtyard alone until 1788. Now he married Maria Magdalena Gleichauff, who was about 30 years his junior. With her he fathered a total of five children. After French troops moved into Guntersblum in 1793 as a result of the French Revolution , Belzer was the only one to complain to the Guntersblum community that French soldiers and horses had damaged the cathedral courtyard and that he had to billet too many troops compared to other farm owners. But after the local council replied on November 1, 1793 that " the number of the lying property, the space of the house and the remaining property of the comfortable trap " were for the selection of the troops to be quartered, Belzer was still not satisfied with that. Even after Belzer had access to the Guntersblum billing list and it turned out that even many farms with less space had to accommodate more troops, he was still not satisfied with his treatment.
Shortly afterwards, in April 1798, he was made an adjunct under the French occupiers in Oppenheim . One month later, on May 19, 1798, Ludwig Belzer finally died. Subsequently, his family continued to fight in court for compensation for the strain and damage they suffered while billeting troops more than five years ago. In addition, at the beginning of 1798 on the left bank of the Rhine and thus also in Guntersblum, the French Republic was proclaimed. The result was that all property from the nobility and church was confiscated and auctioned. This also happened in July 1798 with the Guntersblumer Domhof with the " Zehntscheuer plus house and all equipment ", which was now to be auctioned for three years. In the following, the highest bidder was Ms. Belzer. However, after Napoleon Bonaparte founded the Legion of Honor in 1802 , he equipped the Legion of Honor with conquered properties. This now also included the Guntersblumer Domhof. But since Guntersblum is now too far away from France, the property has now been sold.
In the following, Ms. Belzer and her husband Jacob Schnell, who was married in 1799, were able to buy the Domhof from Dexheim for a price of 4,300 francs, far above the estimated price of 1,400 francs . From April 21, 1806, she and her husband were the official owners of the cathedral courtyard. However, after the Schnell family became poorer and poorer, in 1874 the creditor bank applied for the cathedral courtyard to be auctioned. Heinrich Schmitt was now the highest bidder for the Guntersblumer Domhof and was also awarded the contract. In 1901, among other things, the Domhofhaus was rebuilt. The descendants of Heinrich Schmitt, the Baumann family, are the owners of the Domhof, which is now run as a winery, into the 21st century.
