Eltzer Hof (Boppard)
The Eltzer Hof is a former farm of the von Eltz noble family in Boppard . Parts of the western Roman fort wall of Boppard ran through the courtyard. They were involved in the construction of the building complex there. Today it is privately owned and a listed building.
location
The building complex of the former Eltzer Hof von Boppard is located on the edge of the old town on the corner where Karmeliterstraße joins Oberstraße (formerly B 9 ). Today it has the address Oberstrasse 140 and 142. North of the Eltzer Hof was the Beyer Hof, another former noble court of Boppard, which is almost completely demolished today. On the opposite side of Karmeliterstraße, west of the building complex, there is (then as now) the Boppard Carmelite Monastery , which today houses the city administration. The old post office building, which is also listed, is to the southwest. Parts of the western wall of the Roman fort of Boppard were integrated into the western outer wall of the building complex .
history
In a Boppard document, a Johann von Eltz is mentioned as a witness in 1219. However, until the late 15th century, the von Eltz family is not documented as resident in Boppard. In 1458 and 1468 Johann Herr von Eltz was enfeoffed by the provost of St. Martin with the tithes of power to Salzig and Wingerten in Boppard, Spay and Peternach . He was married to the sister of the Koblenz knight Johann von Bachem. In 1486 the inheritance of von Bachem was divided among the Lord von Eltz, Rudolf Beyer von Boppard and Johann von Lewenstein, whereby the farm in Boppard probably went to the von Eltz family. In 1496 the farm on the edge of the Bopparder Altstatt is called Eltzer Hof for the first time.
When the inheritance was divided in 1549 between the brothers Georg and Hans Reichard von Eltz, Eltz Castle went to Georg and Hans Reichard received the farm in Boppard, which was then much richer with goods. Land in the Westerwald , Taunus and on the Rhine also belonged to this . Therefore, Hans Reichard had to pay his brother a compensation of 300 guilders. In 1566 a new residential building was completed in the courtyard. It is the rear wing today. The builder Hans Reichard died in 1568 and was probably buried in the Carmelite Church. His well-preserved death shield is now on the choir stalls of the Carmelite Church . In 1653 the Bickenbach farm , which was located between the Carmelite Church and the Rhine, and three other buildings from Judengasse (today Eltzerhofstraße) were lent to Johann Anton von Eltz . Around 1738 the front part of the building was completed and used as a residential house, the rear from 1566 has since been used as a wine press house . In the course of the French Revolution , the von Eltz's goods were sequestered and sold to their administrator Karl Deynet in 1804. In 1814 the goods were sold on to the notary Josef Görgen. At an auction in 1854, the Baron von Maltitz acquired the farm. After further changes of ownership, Wilhelm Brockamp acquired the Eltzer Hof building in 1959. Today it is owned by his son.
description
House from 1566
The rear building from 1566 is a two-story plastered building. It has a slightly cantilevered upper floor. The entrance to this part of the building is in the courtyard between the back and front building, which is accessible from Oberstraße. Next to the entrance, the massive ground floor on the courtyard side has three coupled windows. The rectangular window frames made of sandstone with late Gothic profiles had a support with rich tracery. The entrance also has a rectangular sandstone frame. It also has a flat gable crowned by two bell knobs and a skylight. The third knob is now above the portal of the 18th century part of the building. In the flat gable field above the entrance there is a heraldic shield with the Eltz lion and the year 1566. Originally the year and the heraldic shield were on the missing "large stone arch" and the courtyard gate below. The outer wall of the upper floor facing the courtyard consists of a plastered framework with five irregularly arranged window axes. The western gable wall (towards the Carmelite monastery) above the Roman fort wall has twin windows on three floors in profiled frames. The gable roof is covered with slate and has a crooked hip . The building used to be dominated by an ivy-covered tower. The missing tower XVII of the Roman fort was still there in 1886.
On the ground floor there is a double coat of arms - that of von Eltz and that of Hagen zur Motte, and on the upper floor is the coat of arms of the Trier Elector and Archbishop Jakob III. from Eltz . On the stucco-decorated upper floor ceiling of the central room facing the courtyard, the inscription "WHO VNDER DESER ROSEN IS GETEN WHO WILL FORGOT GOD NEIT 1567" runs around a crest-shaped rose.
Front building
The baroque building, which is also two-story , is still connected to the rear building by a corridor over the former Roman fort wall. The plastered building has a seven-axis window front facing the courtyard. There are three window axes facing Oberstrasse, originally there were two. The windows all have a rectangular sandstone frame. Above the three central window axes to the courtyard is a flat gable above a continuous eaves cornice. A double coat of arms ( Eltz and Faust von Stromberg ) with a count's crown above is depicted on it. Towards the courtyard there is an arched portal in the middle axis, also in a profiled sandstone frame. Above the portal is a plaque with the inscription "ANNO 1722" and above it the bell knob, which was transferred from the rear building to it. The double-leaf, paneled oak door of the portal is from the time it was built. Above the door is a skylight with a new iron grille. An outside staircase with profiled basalt steps on three sides leads up to the portal. Some of the steps have now been replaced by concrete. On the north side, i.e. the side facing the rear building, there is a round arched cellar entrance with neo-Gothic fittings. The roof of the house is a mansard roof with gable dormers in two rows. Inside the house there is a wooden staircase with sawn docks from the time it was built.
