history

Around the year 1300, the over-indebted Knights of Frauenstein sold Frauenstein Castle and parts of the village to the Mainz ore monastery . As a result, the House of Nassau threatened to lose its influence over the area. In order to secure their neighboring lands, the Counts of Nassau built the fortifications Armada , Groroth , Nuremberg, Rosenköppel and Sommerberg around Frauenstein in the following centuries . The farm on the Nornberg was built in the 14th century. The name comes from "norr", which means arid or barren. The Nuremberg court was mentioned in 1554 when Count Adolf von Nassau-Idstein secured four loads of “Nornberger Gewächs” a year. When it was first mentioned in 1594, the court was assigned to Nassau and the parish in Schierstein .

From 1635 to 1648 during the Thirty Years' War the court belonged to Mainz , after which it passed into the ownership of Johann von Nassau . On July 6, 1815, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a guest and praised "the magnificent view". At that time the farm belonged to Friedrich August von Nassau-Usingen . Karl Simrock describes in 1851 that the people of Mainz “love to make pilgrimages to the court”, “not only because of the talents of its owner, who explored the art of cooking in the service of the last duke, but also because of the incomparable view of the Rhine, Schierstein, Bieberich and Mainz . ”In the 19th century, the farm's land was valuable and yielded large profits in viticulture . In 1918 the farm came to the Frauenstein community. In 1932 the Goethestein was erected above the courtyard in honor of Goethe . During the Second World War the farm served as a prisoner of war camp . The Nuremberg farm is owned by the city of Wiesbaden and has been leased to the Becker family since 1939, who run a winery and restaurant there .
