geography
Geographical location
The more than 900-year-old farm estate is located between Diefenbach and Häfnerhaslach as the crow flies , surrounded by gardens, fruit trees, fields and meadows. Vineyards are laid out on the south-west of the Hofberg. This hill, also called Häuslesberg, rises up to approx. 80 m above the Streitenbach . The site is still preserved as a historic vineyard landscape, surrounded by dry stone walls. A few hundred meters further northwest on the Streitenbach are the youth houses of the same name , which were created from a forest workers' settlement.
Community membership
The Füllmenbacher Hof is part of the Sternenfels community and, together with the Burrainhof and Mettenbacher Mühle farms, belonged to the Diefenbach community until the community reform in the 1970s .
history
The Streitenbach, called "Füllmenbach" in earlier times, is the namesake of the hamlet.
In 1085 the farm was first mentioned in the Reichenbach donation book. "A noble and capable woman named Beatrix" transferred the then dilapidated "Vilmodebach" homestead to the church. With a document from Speyer Bishop Günther von Henneberg , the Füllmenbacher Hof became the property of the nearby Maulbronn Cistercian monastery in 1152 (founded in 1147; UNESCO World Heritage since 1993) and became so economically important that it was mentioned in a document from Emperor Friedrich I in 1156 .
In order to secure the economic existence of the Cistercian monks, the Füllmenbacher Hof developed into a grangie (monastery courtyard), which was developed by Konversen (lay brothers) for agriculture as a "clearing island" near the water. According to the Maulbronn District Office (1870), the farm had an agricultural area of around 62 hectares. The lake excavated by the monks at the Streitenbach at that time is now filled in.
After the number of lay monks decreased in the course of the 13th century, the management first switched to wage labor and then to leasing.

Buildings and special features

The oldest house still standing today dates from 1506 (dendrochronological report).
In 1795 the farm was privatized. In this context, the house was divided according to the original cadastre from 1835 and both halves of the house were extended by transverse structures. The oldest view of the courtyard facility built to the west of the road is handed down in the Kieser forest map series from 1680. The barn, which was built in 1808 and expanded the existing medieval barn from 1527, is still completely preserved. As soon as the house was divided up, another very elongated barn was added to the property.
Of the buildings to the east of the street that were added from 1847 onwards, only the bakery, which was built around 1880, is part of the historical ensemble. The last house built in the hamlet dates from 2015.
