Hauptstrasse 48 (Volkach)
The house at Hauptstraße 48 (formerly house number 190) is a listed building in the core town of Volkach in Lower Franconia . The house was owned by the Ilmbach Charterhouse for a long time and was therefore also called Ilmbacher Hof . In addition, there was the name Herdahaus .
history
The history of the house is closely related to that of the Carthusian monastery in Ilmbach. The Charterhouse was founded in 1453 by a foundation by Balthasar Fere von Berg and his wife Magdalena von Vestenberg in a remote valley on the edge of the Steigerwald. The monks quickly received donations from other nobles. Among other things, they were able to acquire a farm and several vineyards in Volkach. With its markets, the city offered sales for the products made in the monastery and was also close to the sister monastery in Astheim .
During the Middle Ages and the early modern period, the courtyard was always inhabited by Volkach families who paid interest on the monastery. In 1689, for example, Hans Klinger's widow was sitting in the “Wohnhaus am Ilmbacherhof”. In the same year the property passed to Michael Elflein. In 1698 Peter Kuhn held the farm, he still lived here in 1713 and had to pay the city of Volkach a tax of over 284 guilders . Around 1730 Kuhn's son probably took over the Ilmbacher Hof and probably renewed the building. The increase in the tax to the city suggests this.
In contrast to many other buildings in the Volkach old town, the residents are not consistently passed down. Georg Landauer's widow did not appear in the house until 1771 . In 1803 the Ilmbach Charterhouse was dissolved in the course of secularization , and one year later, in 1804, the monastery properties were sold to private individuals. This is probably how the Volkacher Franz Joseph Friederich came into possession of the facility. His widow owned the property in 1811 and still in 1823.
In the following years the former Ilmbacher Hof was used again. With Erwin Friederich, the son of Franz Joseph, a pharmacist owned the property and set up a wash house , a laboratory and a kitchen garden next to the house . The tax rose to over 5000 guilders during this time, which indicates the large income of the residents. In 1861 August Hartlieb continued to run a pharmacy on the property.
Now the owners of the pharmacy changed more frequently. Franz Wilhelm Riegel was named here in 1866, and Hugo Gerber then owned the pharmacy in 1871. In 1887 the pharmacist Albert Engel owned the property. Via Valentin and Bibiana Hagenauer (called 1900 and 1906), Gustav Wüchner (called 1917), Alfred Nonweiler (called 1939 and 1951) the house remained a pharmacy. This period only ended when the Leeder family bought it. Now a knife shop and a grinding shop have been set up on the premises.
The business run by Herbert and Anni Leeder still existed in 1984 and has since been converted into a household and craftsman's business. Around 1998 an antique shop was set up in the premises , which was run by Stefan Günter. After that the house stood empty for a while. In 2009 the house was acquired by Eva and Sabine Kiesel and converted into a bookstore with a café area . In 2014 the buildings were extensively renovated.
description
The former Ilmbacher Hof was classified as an architectural monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . He is also part of the Volkach Old Town ensemble . Underground remains of previous buildings are listed as soil monuments . The courtyard presents itself as a two-storey half-hipped roof building. It was built without the gable and its core dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The facade can be attributed to the 19th century.
Particularly noteworthy is the step-shaped screen gable in front of the roof, which was also made in the 19th century and ends with a projecting cornice . The ground floor is characterized by three elongated arched windows that were created as shop windows. Originally the house had a portal with a skylight . The floors are divided by cornices. Again, arched windows were installed on the upper floor.
Next to the main house there is an arched courtyard entrance, which probably dates from the time when the Ilmbacher Hof was built. Various coats of arms can still be seen indistinctly in the garment . Different figures were depicted from left to right (description heraldically correct): A lion turned to the left, a bar with a growing bracke as a crest , which probably refers to the Lords of Vestenberg, an unidentifiable coat of arms with a crest and a coat of arms split twice .
