Heimrich table

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heimrich table in Weimar

The Heimrich table , derived from the Heymeltisch, cherished dish , is located on Damaschkestrasse in Weimar . Originally located in an enclosed meadow, there are now gardens. The Heimrich table belonged to the corridor of the Wallendorf desert , which is also reminiscent of the Wallendorfer Mühle located on Paul-Schneider-Straße. The table top is made of coarse-grain granite , while the stone benches are made of travertine and Berka red sandstone . The number “1600” stands out on the table base, probably the year it was built. The owners of the Wallendorfer Flur held court in this place until 1852. They formed their own farm cooperative, which dissolved in 1877. The city took over this stone from the disintegrating Flurgenossenschaft under the condition that it would be preserved "for ever". This happened with a resolution of November 3, 1876, for which the city received 60 thalers from the desert fund. It is a registered soil monument of the city of Weimar. In the Weimar city archive is zum Heimrichtisch u. a. the historical records with regard to the leasing of the community area, which is attached to the Heimrich table or under the heading "Monuments of the city inspectorate".

A drawing by Alt-Wallendorf also shows the Heimrich table, around which a group of men has gathered.

With the Heimrich table (s) it had its special reason for judicial festive customs, of which u. a. Helene Böhlau made communications. That concerned the "Heimrich" or "Heymel" or the "Hegemahl" or "Hegemal" (court court). Such a hegemal also existed elsewhere such as B. in the Rhineland . In any case, it was widespread in Thuringia. The field court u. a. in Frankfurt am Main has the same meaning. According to Helene Böhlau's account, there were once several Heimrichstische in the vicinity of Weimar. She writes about one in Rödchen , but not about the one in Wallendorf. In addition, she mentions "ancient stone tables" in this regard and does not speak of an "ancient stone table. Of the other such stone tables in the vicinity of Weimar, which Helene Böhlau mentioned, nothing (any longer) can be found or known.
