Princely Leiningen's archive in Amorbach
The Princely Leiningen Archive in Amorbach is the private archive of the von Leiningen family and one of the largest aristocratic archives in Bavaria .
Its holdings from the period before 1800 - it contains around 5000 documents since 1196 and several late medieval copial books - mainly concern the Palatinate on the left bank of the Rhine . In addition, it keeps a remnant of the Amorbach monastery archive as well as the tradition of the principality of Leiningen, which only existed from 1803 to 1806 (offices Amorbach, Buchen , Miltenberg and Tauberbischofsheim , formerly Kurmainz , Boxberg and Mosbach , formerly Kurpfalz as well as Hardheim and Rippberg , formerly Hochstift Würzburg ) and the subsequent hierarchy . At the same time it is the house archive of the family of the former princes of Leiningen, which still exists today.
In addition to other collections, the archive also manages the important court library with remains of the Amorbach monastery library .
Since autumn 2003, the archive has been closed to the owner until further notice for financial reasons, but is now accessible once a month (always on the second Monday of the month). The library is also shown during guided tours.
