history

The history of the Homburger Hof goes back to the 14th century: According to a document, Thilemann Schraß is said to have owned fields in Guntersblum. After 1350, a knight called Ring of Sauwelnheim Schraß 'daughter Catharina married, he bequeathed his property to his son, the later court jurors Anthis ring. This in turn gave his property to the noble Iring family . Anna Iring's husband, Hans von Zwingenberg, is named in a document in 1462 as the owner of a field on the Merssäcker . About 20 years later, in 1483, her daughter Eva was finally listed as the landowner in a deed. After she died in 1484, her property passed to her husband Simon Leifried von Heppenheim. After he died on February 16, 1553, he bequeathed his property to his husband, Philipp von Molsberg , his late sister Anna. After he died in Bodenheim in 1569 , the property was bequeathed to his granddaughter Maria von Molsberg and her husband Johann Friedrich von Wachenheim . From now on the manor was called Wachenheimisches Gut . After Maria von Molsberg died on March 14, 1659, ownership of the property went to her nephew, the High Princely Hesse-Darmstadt Chamber Council , House, Court and Chief Hunters Heinrich Ludwig von Bobenhausen.

After large parts of the area on the left bank of the Rhine were annexed at the end of the 17th century under the responsibility of the French King Louis XIV as a result of the reunification policy , Heinrich Ludwig von Bobenhausen and the royal court squire and captain Lieutenant Johann Wilhelm von Burckhausen sold their noble property in Guntersblum for 3,000  guilders to Anna von Wages. According to a deed from December 1685, their property should now include a barn , stables , a wine press house and a garden . Furthermore, the property is to be located in Holdergasse and bounded in the south by the property of the high schoolboy Jost Wilhelm Walter, bounded in the north by the property of Dalberger Hof and bounded in the west by the property of Johann Paul Kolter. In addition, the Anna von Wages property is said to have 66  acres of fields, 71 acres of meadows , 16 acres of woodland , 10 acres of vineyards and 9 acres of gardens. In addition, von Wages bought an additional 47 acres of fields and meadows in Guntersblum von Weiprecht von Gemmingen in 1686 .

When the French finally raged more and more in Guntersblum during their rule, the damage to Anna von Wages' property in February 1695 was so great that she had to sell it to Baron Johann Wilhelm Moser von Vilseck for 4,200 guilders . This in turn sold it in March 1704 for 6,000 guilders to Count Carl Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg . He bought the property for the purpose of his wedding celebration with Anna Sabina Freifrau von Nostitz. Shortly thereafter, he led in the grounds of a castle of stone auffgeführt to build. But after Carl Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg died five years later at the age of 29, only the shell of the building could be completed. As a result of the death of her husband and her associated insolvency , she was finally forced to sell the property to Carl von Venningen for 16,500 gulden in 1717 . But he too died a short time later after paying the first share of 1,500 guilders. After his heirs wanted to withdraw from buying the property, Anna Sabina von Leiningen sued the heirs' decision. When she was finally right in 1722, the descendants of Carl von Venningen, his widowed wife and daughter, took over ownership of the property.

After his daughter Helena Elisabetha Juliana von Venningen had the interior work done, she sold the property to the new local lord in Guntersblum, to the 23-year-old Count Emich Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg in 1733 . When a court issued an expert opinion in 1746 because of a legal dispute between Emich Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg and the previous owner Helena Elisabetha Juliana von Venningen, the property was finally given a neighboring house, three barns, a cowshed , a pigsty and a horse stable , a wine press, a coach house , a laundry room , a three-acre garden and a tree and pleasure garden . In addition, the property is old and not too well conditioned . After Emich Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg finally got into debt , he had to sell the property to the judiciary and resident Franz Jacob von Sachs in 1749 . In the years that followed, the wealthy owner Franz Jacob von Sachs had numerous renovation work and new buildings carried out on the property of today's Homburger Hof. So from 1750 he had the ailing house renovated and also erected other buildings on the 200-acre property.

When Franz Jacob von Sachs finally died in 1768 at the age of 58, he left his widow with a mountain of debt . After failing to repay the debt, she filed for bankruptcy in 1771 . Subsequently, the so-called Homburger Hofguth from Saxony was assessed by the Count's Liningian office at 18,605 guilders and the buildings at 4,570 guilders. After an auction was held in early 1772 , the Lincker family became the new owners of the property, which paid 27,000 guilders for their acquisition. When Count Wilhelm Carl von Leiningen-Guntersblum took over the Guntersblum local rule, he bought the Homburg court from Franz von Lincker for 27,000 guilders. After Wilhelm Carl von Leiningen-Guntersblum first tackled the renovation of the castle belonging to the Homburg court, he decided in 1788 to build a new castle . The old castle on the property of the Homburger Hof was subsequently used as a guest house . In 1828 the Homburg court was finally divided into many parts and sold without the old castle with the garden. The following owners of the greatly reduced Homburg court, consisting of a one-story house (with) riding, accessories and garden , were from now on Moses and Joseph Salm. After they sold the property to Georg Wilhelm Küstner in 1831, two years later his son took over the ownership of the Homburg court. The Homburger Hof estate was subsequently used to operate a malt house, before the buildings were used to operate a winery at the beginning of the 20th century.

After the Bluem family bought the property in 1936, the buildings on the former Homburger Hof were used to run a winery. After the building was damaged in the Second World War , the property with its current address, Alsheimer Strasse 19, was significantly renovated in the post-war period after the Second World War in Germany and subsequently adapted more to the needs of a winery. In 1976, Rudolf Hill finally took over today's Homburger Hof winery .
