Gaibach manor
The farm Gaibach (also dairy Gaibach) is a listed building in the district Volkacher Gaibach in Lower Franconia. It stands on Schweinfurter Strasse opposite the castle and was used in the 19th century as the administrative seat of the agricultural estates of the Schönborn estates .
history
The Counts of Schönborn acquired control of the village of Gaibach in 1650. Many fields and meadows that were around the village were connected with the rule of the village. When the rule of the counts was upgraded to an imperial county in 1681 , this made better management of agricultural goods necessary. The county was divided into several offices that should take on this role. Gaibach received its own office .
The Gaibach office also had an administrative seat, but it is unclear whether this first manor was located on the site of today's. The Counts of Schönborn leased the goods to various people and were thus able to operate them through directing. In 1785, however, the Gaibach office was merged with the one in Zeilitzheim and Gaibach lost its agricultural administrative center. In 1791 the counts leased the Gaibach property to Christoph Ulsamer.
In the course of the mediatization of the year 1806, the counts lost their rule, but were able to keep the agricultural goods. Shortly before this drastic change, they gave up the leasing of the Maierei and in 1805 they managed it themselves . The well-preserved manor on Gaibacher Hauptstrasse was also built in the 19th century. Around 1820 Gaibach consequently also received its own domain office , which from then on was responsible for the administration of goods.
The office was only dissolved in 1881 when it was assigned to the domain office in Wiesentheid . In the same year the counts began to lease the estate again. On February 22nd, 1881 Peter Eberhardt and his son Friedrich from Öttershausen signed the lease. They remained tenants of the estate and the land until 1893. A few years earlier, in 1877, a brandy distillery had been established on the farm.
The Schönborn estates still owned the goods and the farm in 1923 and continued to lease them to farming families. The tenants also lived in the property they managed. Today the estate is still in the hands of administrators. Klaus Warmuth manages the agricultural land of the Counts of Schönborn in Gaibach, Wiesentheid, Hallburg , Öttershausen and Wadenbrunn . The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation classifies the courtyard as an architectural monument .
architecture
The manor consists of two residential buildings and several farm buildings that are grouped around a courtyard in a horseshoe shape. The houses are made of quarry stone and have two floors. They were created around the middle of the 19th century when the estate administration was renewed. All buildings have rectangular windows, the storeys can also be seen from the outside through cornices .
The buildings are described in more detail on a site plan from 1923: The buildings facing the castle were the residential buildings and the distillery. One entered the stables through the courtyard . A passage led to another courtyard in the north, to which the barns and a coach house were connected. To the west of the courtyard was the Gaibach cemetery. The pigsty to the east of the property was separated from the rest of the buildings by a manure pit.
