Eichhof is a western part of the Upper Franconian town of Coburg , which was united with the neighboring village of Scheuerfeld in 1868 .
geography
The village is about three kilometers west of Coburg, north of Scheuerfeld. The historical core, the Eichhof Castle , is located on a hill jutting out like a spur into the valley above a meadow through which the Güßbach stream flows. The place was populated early due to its location.
history
The history of Eichhof is shaped by the lords of the manor . 1317 were in the Urbarium , a list of possessions of the Henneberger when the new rule was acquired , also items in Eichhof. The settlement was assigned to the Lauter district court in the 12th century . In 1440 there was a documentary mention of "Peter von Eychoff", who then acquired Coburg citizenship. The place name can be interpreted as "Hof an der Ach" ( Middle High German for water and brook) due to its location .
In the middle of the 15th century the settlement had developed into a manor. In 1516 the Mönchröden monastery acquired the property, which in 1595 consisted of a leasehold and a sölde . In 1597, Duke Johann Casimir gave the property of the princely monastery office in Mönchröden, together with the village of Scheuerfeld, to his rentmaster Nicolaus Zech . After his daughter Helene married Johann Christian von Merklin, Eichhof and Scheuerfeld came into the Merklin family's possession after 1615. The place was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . The Merklin family divided the entire inheritance in 1676. As a result, the Eichhof manor, to which the bone mill was added, got its own administration and jurisdiction. Scheuerfeld and Eichhof remained connected in terms of church and school.
In 1733 Friedrich Christian von Merklin enlarged the estate by purchasing the upper Lämmereller, on which the Lämmermühle was built, and the bird herd a year later. In the 18th century the castle, a two-wing complex, got its current appearance. From 1770 the landlords were bourgeois. In 1852, Eichhof consisted of a two-story castle with an attached wing, a sheep house, a greenhouse and gardener's house, a wash house, a brewery with an oven and a home, four drip houses and a residential building. In 1864 the ducal domain office acquired the manor and leased it to Duke Ernst II. He arranged for the drip houses to be relocated from the castle area to today's Weidacher Strasse, where a parish hall with an adjacent bakery was built.
In 1868 the municipality of Eichhof, without the domain property , was merged with the municipality of Scheuerfeld as part of the first regional reform in the Coburg region. According to the settlement agreement of 1919, the castle with nine hectares of land of the approximately 100 hectare manor remained in the ownership of the House of Coburg , which sold the property in 1985. In 1926 the manor was incorporated in accordance with a decree of the Bavarian State Ministry.
In 1837 the village had 72 inhabitants, in 1864 there were 74 with a lamb and bone mill. In 1925 Eichhof had 83 people and 16 residential buildings. The Protestant church and school were in Scheuerfeld 0.9 kilometers away. In 1950 the village had 169 inhabitants and 26 residential buildings and in 1961 187 inhabitants and 35 residential buildings.
In the course of the territorial reform , Scheuerfeld and its district of Eichhof were incorporated into the city of Coburg on July 1, 1972. The two places had grown together in the meantime. The Weidach district of Vogelherd was created in 1954 to the southwest of Eichhof, directly on the corridor boundary .
