history

Description 1790

First mention

In 1342 a Chúnradt of the Heldening is mentioned by "Kapff".

Domination

“The fortified Kapf farm controlled the road from Lorch to Gaildorf, which crossed the river at the Strübelmühle. It was of great strategic importance for the Limpurg taverns, since since 1435 it was the most south-westerly point of their Wildbann and the judicial district of Seelach, ”writes Wolfgang Runschke. With this he follows on from statements by Hansmartin Decker-Hauff in 1949: “Hof Kapff is a medieval weir system to block the road from Remstal into Kochertal, from Lorch to Gaildorf; it lies exactly where the road climbs up the mountain after crossing the Lein on its north bank and enters the domain of the Limpurger. The permanent courtyard is strategically important as a southern guard post for the rule of the Limpurg taverns, its entire facility can be explained in terms of defense technology from its position on the street and on the Lein ”.

In 1435 the brothers Konrad IV, Friedrich V and Konrad V. von Limpurg left the Kapf farm and a fishing right in the Lein for 200 guilders to Klaus Schenk. All previous leases were no longer applicable. According to Decker-Hauff, the Limpurg taverns bought the farm back after 1478 and divided it up between two Mayers, the Kapffmeyers named in 1574. According to Rudolf von Andler, the following were resident in Kapf in 1574 and 1576: Paulin Kapffmaier, Wolf Kapffmaier, donor subject and Maier in Kapf.

Kapf was in the extreme southwest of the Oberamt Gaildorf

Until 1806 Kapf belonged to the ( formerly Limpurgian ) rule Gaildorf-Wurmbrand, Amt Gschwend . After the takeover by Württemberg in 1806, Kapf came to the Oberamt Welzheim , and in 1808 to the Oberamt Gaildorf as part of the Spraitbach staff . With Vordersteinenberg it was assigned to the Schwäbisch Gmünd district in 1938 . Since the incorporation of Vordersteinenberg into Alfdorf in 1972, Kapf has belonged to the Rems-Murr district.

In 1808, in addition to the Spraitbach staff, there was also the Limpurg-Gaildorf-Wurmbrandische Patrimonial-Land-Obervogteiamt Gaildorf, to whose upper or Gschwender office the Schultheiserei Gschwend with Kapf belonged. In 1833, the Princely House of Solms-Braunfels, as a partner in the Wurmbrandic share of the County of Limpurg-Gaildorf, renounced the exercise of police powers in Kapf, among other places.

Manorial rule

The upper office description names the landlords:

The large Lorcher Hof belonged to the so-called seventeen estates . In 1576 it was held by Veit Weller and his wife.

According to the Lorch Lagerbuch in 1576, the hamlet then consisted of four farms, some of which belonged to Limpurg and others to Lorch Abbey.

In 1808, Kapf belonged to the patrimonial office of Freiherren vom Holtz in Alfdorf as an “extra-official branch”, which allows the conclusion that at least one subject of the Freiherren lived in Kapf.

Population numbers

In 1539 there were four houses and about 24 communicants in Kapf. For comparison: Alfdorf 213, Vordersteinenberg 30 communicants.

1737 27 souls, 6 servants.

1790 60 souls.

1828 93 inhabitants.

1852 140 inhabitants.

1874 142 inhabitants.

1906 113 inhabitants.

1936 110 inhabitants.

church

From the "Red Book" of the Lorch Monastery, created around 1500 (badly damaged in World War II), one learns that there was a chapel in Kapf assigned to the Lorch parish , which Peter von Kapf donated (possibly around 1480). The pastoral care was taken over every 14 days by the early knife from Alfdorf. The chapel cartridges are given as: Maria , Jacobus , Wendelin , Katharina and Barbara . The church consecration was celebrated on the Sunday after the feast of St. Ulrich . A recording by the Lorch monk Augustin Seiz around 1515 assigns the Capff settlement to the second monastic benefice in Lorch.

The Limpurgian authorities and the two other manors (Württemberg monastery Lorch, barons von Holtz in Alfdorf) joined the Reformation. Therefore there were no Catholics in the village until the 19th century. In the parish description of 1828, 93 Evangelicals are mentioned; There were no Catholics. In 1874 there were 9 Catholics for every 133 Evangelicals. In 1936 109 of the 110 inhabitants were Protestant, only one Catholic.

Place name

The field name transferred to the settlement often denotes mountains with a view.

  • 1434 "Cappf" (certificate, copy).
  • 1442 "Capff" (certificate).

Lutz Reichardt used the dialectic form: "khapf".

Field names

Based on the topographic map 7124 Reichardt gave two field names associated with the place name: Kapffeld and Kapffeldle.

Buildings

The old farmhouses were stilted stalls with barns next to them . In 1983 Adolf Schahl highlighted four half-timbered houses:

  • No. 6 of 1861.
  • No. 7 from around 1800. A carved corner pillar had a palmette, heart, ribbon and bud hangings.
  • No. 11 small farmhouse (Selde).
  • No. 20 from around 1800.

Schlössle (gone)

The stilted residential barn showed a half-timbered structure above the bricked ground floor. Decker-Hauff concluded from the strikingly thick walls, the mighty vaults and the large cellars that this was a barrier, presumably from the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century - a very uncertain conclusion. The year 1659 on a door indicates renovation work after the Thirty Years War.

The "Schlössle" had to be demolished in 1956 because it was dilapidated. It is considered to be the headquarters of the widely ramified Kapff family , who in Schorndorf rose to the honor of Württemberg. Since Decker-Hauff's essay, the previously considered appointment of Klaus Schenk, who acquired the court in 1435, has been accepted as the premarital child of Schenk Friedrich von Limpurg.

Contrary to what Ernst Kapff and Adolf Schahl stated, the Schlössle-Gut was not a Seventeen-Gut. The Lorcher Hof was one such.

Chapel of St. Maria (exited)

The Lady Chapel, built in the 15th century (see above) is said to have stood still in 1674.

church

The Protestant residents are parish in Alfdorf, the Catholic in Spraitbach .

Companies

Kapf is the location of Ziesel Fertigbau GmbH & Co. KG (Kapfhofweg 22). It has been entered in the commercial register since 1999 ( Stuttgart District Court HRA 281007).

He cites documents for 1470 and 1481 for Peter von Kapf without citing a source, in 1483 he was already dead according to Schön. Decker-Hauff p. 16 lists him as the son of Klaus Kapf and says that he was between 1485 and June 23, 1492 died. By contrast, von Andler, who was not convinced that Peter von Kapf was the son of Klaus, quoted a Lorcher source, according to which Elisabeth Kapferin in Schorndorf, widow of Peter von Kapf, was involved in a legal dispute before the Seelach court in 1483.
