The house in Inner Burgstaffel 6 in Beilstein in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg is a historic half-timbered house that is protected as a cultural monument . Around 1700 it was the home of Beilsteiner Vogts Johann Jakob Weißmann.
history
The path known today as the Inner Burgstaffel was still called the Kirchenstaffel in the early modern times and was the most important footpath to the Magdalenenkirche , the original Beilsteiner parish church. The origins of house No. 6 lie in the dark of history. Not far from the market square at the foot of the castle hill, however, it is certainly one of the older houses in the city. Before 1693 it was inhabited by Beilsteiner Vogt Johann Jakob Weißmann (1651–1704), who married Ursula Barbara Scholl (1666–1733) in 1692.
On July 18, 1693, French troops invaded Beilstein during the War of the Palatinate Succession . Weißmann defied a ducal order and fled with the local population to Löwenstein . The French then burned the place down, which destroyed almost the entire structure, including the house on the church stagger. Because of his escape, Weissmann was transferred to Balingen from 1694 to 1699 . The Beilsteiner Vogtei took over the Großbottwarer Vogt Kapff during this time . Weißmann returned to Beilstein in 1699 and was again Vogt there until his death in 1704. While he was absent or shortly after his return, Weißmann apparently had his house rebuilt on the older foundation walls.
The house on the Kirchenstaffel or Inner Burgstaffel is mentioned for the first time in a Güther and houses description from the period shortly after 1700 with various addenda, Mr. Vogt Weißmanns ehl becomes the owner. Frau Wittib , also known as Weissmann's widow. It is described as a house on the mountain with a beautiful vaulted cellar . The widow probably lived in the house until her death in 1733. Thereafter the property was divided between two parties. The fragmentation of house and land ownership was typical of rural conditions in southwest Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries. It took place through the division of inheritance or for financial reasons. The house on the church stagger was divided extremely impractically, namely by rooms and not by floors, so that the residents had to share stairs, hallways, kitchen and toilet .
Soon after 1733, Christoph Langmezger and Melchior Ergenzinger were named as half of the owners. Langmezger's share came to Joachim Kaufmann before 1772, and later to the tailor Johann Gottlieb Sauer. Ergenzinger added a stable to his half of the house before 1772, his share later came to the cooper Georg Cast and, after another change of ownership, to the Retter family until 1822.
When the houses in Beilstein were first numbered in the 18th century, the house was given the number 184, the stable number 185, and later the buildings were numbered 137 and 137a.
Ownership of the house was further split up when Johann David Sauer, son of Johann Gottlieb Sauer, sold part of his house and his cellar to the wine grower Christian Zillhardt in 1844. It remained with three parts of the property until 1890/91, when the wine grower Eberhard Retter also acquired the former Zillhardt's share of the other half of the house, which means that he owned 7/10 of the house. The other 3/10 were owned by the Siegele family. The 3/10 portion consisted of only one room and one room (as well as the shared use of the kitchen and toilet) and was temporarily inhabited by a family of eight. Savior large proportion came by inheritance to his daughter Johanna Spoehrle that Daniel Hartmann, the co-founder of him in 1922 Latter Rain Mission sold. Martha Ferber, b. Harmann. The Ferber couple also acquired the smaller Siegele part of the house in 1959, so that the house was again in the hands of a single owner.
The copywriter Klaus Fischer bought the building from the Ferber couple in 1972, who demolished the old barn extension and extensively renovated the house. The total cost of the renovation was around DM 220,000, of which the State Monuments Office took over DM 17,500. The Fischer family moved into the renovated building in 1974.
