The Eberbacher Hof in Geisenheim in the Rheingau is a former farmyard of the Cistercian monastery Eberbach and has been part of the St. Ursula School since 1969 .

history

The knight Siegfried von Hattenheim owned the Kappel or Kapellenhof , an old aristocratic court , in Geisenheim . The name came from a Nikolauskapelle, which was possibly on the yard area. Presumably, the Kapellengarten vineyard area southeast of the farm belonged to the property. In 1292 the heirs of the knight donated the farm with vineyards and tithe rights to the Eberbach monastery, which from now on was called Eberbacher Hof . Under the Eberbach abbot Michael Schnock (abbot from 1702 to 1727), today's house was built between 1705 and 1708 and in 1757 was fundamentally rebuilt.

In the course of secularization , the court came into possession of Duke Friedrich August von Nassau in 1803 . The Nassau domain administration sold the farm, which from now on became part of the adjacent Palais Ostein , to Karl Maximilian von Ostein .

The parents of the architect Philipp Hoffmann bought the house between 1812 and 1820, and in 1876 it became a post office. The Eberbacher Hof has been part of the St. Ursula School since 1969 .
