Geistkircherhof
Coordinates: 49 ° 16 ′ 35 " N , 7 ° 11 ′ 11" E
The Geistkircherhof (also Geistkircher Hof or Geistkirch , also outdated Frohnsbach ) is a settlement on the eastern edge of St. Ingbert , directly on the boundary with Kirkel . The submerged hamlet of Fronsbach was located here until the Thirty Years' War , whose eponymous brook Fronsbach rises here and drains into the Niederwürzbacher Weiher .
Area and buildings
The hamlet consists of several buildings, each with its own story. The settlement is cut in an east-west direction by the Kaiserstraße , formerly the B 40 , since the early 1990s degraded as Landesstraße 119, which connects Saarbrücken with Kaiserslautern . The Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway runs south of it. The Fronsbach floodplain extends south of the railway line. There is an important industrial area between the Geistkircherhof and Rohrbach.
Four buildings (complexes) can still be distinguished today, which belonged to the former settlement - called Vrolsbach . Exact data on the demise of this settlement do not exist, but it is no longer verifiable in the 16th century. Only the local church, dedicated to St. Martin, has existed for longer and was used as a place of worship and cemetery church for the deceased from Hassel and Rohrbach .
Geistkirch chapel
The most important, but not the oldest, structure of the settlement is the Geistkircher Chapel, built in 1901 in Saarland: Geißkäärsch , which had to move a few meters north due to the construction of the railway line. At that time it served as the house chapel of the court. It houses a statue of Saint Wendelin from the 17th century.
Traditionally, there is a service in the chapel on Trinity Sunday (Sunday after Pentecost ). This service used to be connected with a pilgrimage and a small fair ( Geiskercher curb ). In 2012, this tradition was taken up again with a courtyard festival on the neighboring agricultural property. The previous church was dedicated to Saint Martin . It existed even longer and was used as a place of worship and cemetery church for the deceased from Hassel and Rohrbach .
Beck'scher Hof
The Beck'sche Hof is a farm that is still in use today.

North is the only building of the L 119 is traufständig the inn Wirtz. The middle part of the house is the old, single-storey farmhouse, which has a single-storey extension to the west as a stable or warehouse. In the east there is a two-story extension that may have served as a residential building. Currently (2016) the building is empty.
Former Frohnscher Hof inn
The former inn is used today (2016) as a location for craft businesses.
More buildings
Until 1937 there was the so-called "Falterhaus", which was about 230 meters east of the Beck'schen Hof and was located directly on the street. After the Bavarian premiere in 1842, it is the second oldest house in the Geistkirch settlement. In a liquidation file from 1845, it is referred to as “residential house, courtyard and plant garden”. Presumably, a targeted excavation brought the vault of the cellar to light.
