history

The only detailed representation of the Haselhof is a floor plan from 1783, which shows the house that burned down that same year in the middle.

The Haselhof, first mentioned in 1389, was initially under the manorial power of the Heilig-Geist-Spital in the imperial city of Nuremberg . According to the list of owners, the annual validity in the years 1431 to 1583 was "6 Sumer grains, 12 cheeses à 6 d, 1 Carnival hen" . During the Second Margrave War (1552–1555) the surrounding villages were heavily devastated, probably also the Haselhof. In 1560/61 the residents of the estate were parish off to Tennenlohe.

On August 19, 1584, the manor was passed to the patrician family Geuder von Heroldsberg . In 1621 Bavarian troops and imperial soldiers of Ferdinand II plundered the surrounding towns. In the further course of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), a large part of the population in the region fell victim to the plague and other acts of war. In 1638 the Eltersdorf pastor wrote during his exile in Nuremberg: "[...] could not do anything in Eltersdorf because the people were even scattered by the roaming soldiers, the whole village became desolate and remained completely uninhabited [...]" . The reconstruction of the villages was largely completed around 1700. In 1778 the Obervogtamt in Baiersdorf described the Haselhof as a "farm, [...] peculiar to the hereditary forester Gabriel Geiger, on it quite a residential building, existing rental apartments, barn and stables" .

After the Haselhof's house burned down in the night from April 7th to 8th, 1783, the farm was relocated to Tennenlohe (today Gründlacher Straße 17 ). The remaining buildings of the old courtyard were torn down to the foundation walls. The district forester Johann Gabriel Geiger, who had acquired the estate from his siblings in 1786, sold the meadows and fields that once belonged to Haselhof to farmers from Eltersdorf and Tennenloh in 1816.

The exact location of the Haselhof had been forgotten until a chance find in 1985, when some stones of the foundation walls were discovered. Today the Flurname remember hazel farmyard and in 1972 named Hazel Hofstraße in Erlangen Tennenlohe district on the former estate.
