Kaisheimer Hof (Heilbronn)
The Kaisheimer Hof was a nursing home of the Kaisheim Monastery in Heilbronn . The monastery in Heilbronn owned property from 1342, including in particular vineyards . In order to obtain a suitable cellar for the storage of the wine, the monastery acquired another farm in the city in 1462 instead of the previously owned part of the Hirsauer Hof . In its place, an ornate baroque building was built in 1733. The building was destroyed in the air raid on Heilbronn in 1944, only the plaster cast of the coat of arms of the Reichsabbey, which is located today on the Sülmerstrasse 24 building, remained.
history
In 1324, Kaisheim Monastery acquired part of the Hirsauer Hof on the Neckar city wall and associated goods for the first time in Heilbronn. Vineyards in particular were among the associated goods . However, the old farm did not have a cellar and was therefore not very useful for storing wine. For this reason, the monastery acquired another farm at Schulgasse 3–5 in Heilbronn from Itel Erlewein and his wife Barbara in 1462. The buildings were completely destroyed in 1524 by Rohrbach in the Peasants' War and again in 1688 by the French army through looting and pillage. From 1733 the reconstruction took place in the baroque style . In 1803 the monastery courtyard was secularized , which was finally completely destroyed in the air raid on Heilbronn in 1944.
description
The building from 1733 had two floors with a corner bay window and a hipped roof with dormers . The jewel of the baroque building was the main portal , which was located in the middle of the five-axis facade. The portal was flanked by two detached pilasters richly decorated with fruits and flowers. At the top of the pilasters there was an entablature or a cornice that was finely profiled and often cranked. The entablature or cornice was crowned by two vases decorated with acanthus . Above the two vases was the coat of arms of the Imperial Abbey of Kaisheim of the Cistercians . It depicts a double-headed eagle with the regal insignia of an imperial abbey . The eagle holds a sword, scepter and imperial orb in its claws on the right. He also wears a crown on the eagle's head. In the other claws on the left an insul and a staff can be seen, the symbols of an abbey . The coat of arms is flanked at the top by the initials R. A. left and Z. K. right (Rogerius Abbot zu Kaisheim II). A plaster cast of the coat of arms is now in the building at Sülmerstraße 24 near the former location of the Pflegehof.
