Hesslerhof
The Hesslerhof is an estate with a manor in the Wiesbaden district of Mainz-Amöneburg .
location
The farm is located northeast of Mainz-Amöneburg, north of Mainz-Kastel , southeast of the Dyckerhoffbruch landfill of the state capital Wiesbaden and southwest of Fort Biehler . The federal motorway 671 and the Mainz bypass line run south of the courtyard, and to the east is the Mainz-Kastel zoo.
history
The courtyard was built by Dyckerhoff & Widmann Aktiengesellschaft for the Dyckerhoff & Sons cement factory in 1922/23 according to the plans of the architect Paul Korff (Landbaubüro Laage in Mecklenburg) . The farm serves as the "Hofgut Hesslerhof" residential complex; agriculture is no longer practiced. There is a riding stable on the premises . In spring 2020, foundations of a Roman aqueduct were discovered near the courtyard .
Buildings
The system tries to achieve a monumental effect by means of symmetrical arrangement and axiality. The manor house is located at the highest point on the site with a view over the Ingelheim Rhine plain west of the actual courtyard. The residential and farm buildings with their high mansard roofs and simple neo-baroque shapes continue the work of the architect before the First World War . In the Franconian-style courtyard, the farm buildings are grouped in a U-shape around the courtyard, the fourth side is also closed apart from a driveway. Reinforced concrete was mainly used for the construction .
The entrance gate is centrally located on the west side of the courtyard so that it can be well ventilated by the westerly winds that prevail here. Described clockwise, a syringe house , open wagon shed and a room for the milk wagon were planned north of the entrance . In the north-western corner the laundry room , bakery , shower baths, jug sink, dairy , cooling system, hot water and steam system and a small atrium were housed. In the northern side of the yard there was a poultry house and yard and a large barn with a drivable threshing floor . The northeast corner housed pig fattening , pig feed kitchen, potato storage rooms , grain silos and threshing tower, as well as the apartment of the pig master and the farm manager. The eastern side contained pig rearing, cattle feed hall, pig yard, feed rooms, beet silos and raised pens, green feed silos, milk cooling rooms and the cattle shed. In the southeast corner were the Swiss man's apartment as well as the ox and fill barn. This is where the ramp ends to drive on the threshing floor. On the southern side of the courtyard were the stables with 24 to 26 horses, the servants' and harness rooms, the sick stables and the guest stables as well as the carriage shed . There was also space for “10 strange girls, plus 20 foreign workers”. For the southwest corner, a machine shed was planned as a wide-span hall without supports and the fertilizer shed. After the forge, the open wagon shed and a weighing house, the gate was reached again. The courtyard slopes down from north to south, but the stable ceilings are at a constant height. This resulted in lower pigsties and higher ones for cattle and horses. In the middle of the courtyard was a duck pond as a horse pond , the toilet and the fertilizer.
