history

Possessions

Even before the acquisition of Herrnsheim Castle , the Heyl family had acquired or built prestigious townhouses in Worms: The Heyls-Schlößchen at the former location of the medieval Worms bishop's court of the prince-bishops was acquired by Cornelius Heyl in 1805; a later owner, Theodor Joseph Zell, rebuilt the palace in a new form in 1843, which the Heyl family expanded in a classical style after it was bought back in 1851 and added a floor in 1905. After it was destroyed in World War II, Siegfried Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim had the Heyls-Schlößchen rebuilt at the end of the 1960s; it is still owned by the family today.

In 1851 part of the former garden of the Bischofshof was acquired on Wormser Domplatz, north of Worms Cathedral , where Cornelius Wilhelm Heyl had the representative Heylshof built by the architect Bluntschli by 1884 . The building housed the family's art collection, served as a guest house for the numerous artists and high-ranking personalities with whom the family associated, and provided the representative setting for festive social events. Cornelius Wilhelm and Sophie von Heyl bequeathed the building and the associated garden to the city of Worms. The Heylshof was partially destroyed in an air raid in the spring of 1945 and then restored with a hipped roof, only one-story. Since 1961 it has been open to the public again as the “Kunsthaus Stiftung Heylshof”.

In 1909 Wilhelm von Heyl also acquired a winery in Nierstein , Rhineland-Hesse , the Heyl zu Herrnsheim winery , which was inherited from the family in 1969. In 1958 Herrnsheim Castle was sold to the city of Worms. The family foundation of the Barons von Heyl zu Herrnsheim still owns Pfauenmoos Castle in Berg SG (Switzerland), which was acquired as a summer residence .

Companies

After the death of Cornelius Wilhelm von Heyl in 1923, his sons took over the leather works. Cornelius VI. Wilhelm Karl (1874–1954) inherited the main factory in the south of Worms (with a good 5,000 employees in 1924), his younger brother Ludwig Cornelius von Heyl zu Herrnsheim (1886–1962) took over a previous branch of Cornelius Heyl AG in Neuhausen, which he became one independent company with the name "Heyl'sche Lederwerke Liebenau" formed. The Lederwerke Heyl-Liebenau specialized in high-quality Chevreau leather and stepped out of the shadow of the main factory Cornelius Heyl AG in the 1930s. Ludwig von Heyl was able to maintain his leading position in the Chevreau leather production until the end of the Second World War. Since 1933, the staunch National Socialist Dr. Cornelius Bruno von Heyl (1908–1983). During the Second World War, slave laborers were employed in the leather works - as in other Worms factories - because the male employees were drafted into the Wehrmacht. After the war, the leather industry in Worms increasingly lost its validity, primarily due to competition from the plastics industry , but also due to price pressure from low-wage countries , so that it completely disappeared in 1974 with the liquidation of the Heyl'sche Lederwerke Liebenau.
