history

Late Middle Ages

One of the noble families that had their seat in Deidesheim in the Middle Ages was the family of the Lords of Enggass (also: Ingaß, Yngassen). It was initially located east of Deidesheim in what is now Niederkirchen near Deidesheim , but moved its headquarters to Deidesheim for security reasons at the latest in the middle of the 14th century, when construction of the city ​​fortifications began there. In 1395, when Deidesheim was granted city rights by King Wenzel , the knight Diether von Enggaßen was named in a document; the property of his family in Deidesheim, to which they had probably been assigned by Bishop Gerhard von Ehrenberg , was then bordered by today's Heumarktstraße, Ketschauerhofstraße, Pfarrgasse and Stadtmauergasse, and was essentially identical to the current property of the Ketschauer Hof.

Around 1430, when Anna von Enggaßen married Johann Schliederer von Lachen , the Enggaß property in Deidesheim and Niederkirchen passed to the Schliederer von Lachen family. The von Enggaßen family later died out on all lines. In 1460 the property belonged to Pallas Schliederer von Lachen, who promoted the construction of the parish church of St. Ulrich and whose coat of arms can be found in the church as a vault stone.

In 1487 Hinrich Sloddern von Lachen was mentioned, a son of Pallas von Lachen and Elsbeth Eckbrecht von Dürckheim .

Early modern age

During the Peasants' War in 1525, Deidesheim was occupied by insurgents and the von Schliedersche property was plundered. Around 1570 the owner, knight Wilhelm Schliederer von Lachen, had the manor house renovated on a larger scale. His coat of arms was placed next to the entrance in Heumarktstrasse. The widow and children of Wilhelm Schliederer von Lachen, who was killed by a lightning strike in 1597, sold the property to Wilhelm von Sturmfeder in 1609 .

Soon afterwards, however, the Thirty Years' War began ; in 1621 the estate was sacked by troops under Ernst von Mansfeld who had taken Deidesheim. In 1632 Swedish troops came to Deidesheim and requisitioned the property. The mayor, the mayor and the Deidesheim council had to consent. The Swedish King Gustav Adolf gave all of Wilhelm von Sturmfeder's goods, including the estate in Deidesheim, to Colonel von Chanoffsky, subject to Swedish rights. The Swedish Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna confirmed the donation again in 1633; so today's Ketschauer Hof was de facto a Swedish fiefdom - but only for a short time: as early as 1633 the Swedes were forced out of the Palatinate again. The estate then returned to the von Sturmfeder family.

The property had to be rebuilt after the Thirty Years War. In September 1689, Deidesheim was burned down by French troops in the Palatinate War of Succession , and the von Sturmfedersche property was again badly damaged. His owner Philipp Friedrich von Sturmfeder also died in 1689 and was buried next to his wife Dorothee Lerch von Dirmstein in the Deidesheim parish church .

After the War of the Palatinate Succession, the reconstruction of the property dragged on for a long time; After family disputes in 1716 it finally went to the barons of Ketschau , who were related to the von Sturmfeder family. The new landlord was now Baron Philipp von Ketschau. After his death in 1738 the estate would have passed to his son, Baron Adalbert von Ketschau († 1785), but he was afflicted with an incurable disease; a curator represented his interests in relation to the Deidesheim property. With Adalbert von Ketschau's death in 1785, the male line of the family died out. The management of the estate was taken over by his sister, Baron Leopoldine von Ketschau († 1796), and the children of her sister, who was married to Franz Sigismund Adalbert von Lehrbach (1729–1787). The house was in the years 1770-1772 from the Palatine court architect Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti in a simple but elegant acting Baroque built architecture; Rabaliatti's original plans are still preserved. Prince-Bishop August von Limburg-Stirum , as well as Elector Karl Theodor and his wife Elisabeth Auguste came to Deidesheim for the inauguration of the building in autumn 1772 .

After the French Revolution

In January 1794, during the First Coalition War , French troops returned to Deidesheim. The French requisitioned the estate, although none of the owners were staying at the time. After Freiherrin Leopoldine von Ketschau died in 1796, the clergy Damian Hugo Philipp von Lehrbach (1738-1815) and his brother Erwein († 1793) were the heirs; in the latter case, his widow, née Freiin Ullner von Dieburg, inherited . However, because of the French takeover, they could no longer dispose of the property. The property was already badly damaged by 1800; the city now used it as an emergency shelter for citizens who had become homeless. On November 10, 1815, this dilapidated building burned down again. After the von Lehrbach family had their property again, Damian Hugo Philipp von Lehrbach sold it shortly before his death in 1815. At that time he was considered the largest vineyard owner in Deidesheim.

The estate went to the Deidesheim winemaker Andreas Jordan (1775–1848). He had the property rebuilt on what was left of the old one. The driveway and main entrance to the main house were moved to the north; here, directly across the street, is the headquarters of his winery. In 1849 the building was rebuilt and expanded by the Koblenz architect Hermann Nebel . From then on, the Ketschauer Hof was the focal point of the Jordan winery until it was sold in 2002.

Former wine press house

The Ketschauer Hof is one of the largest properties in Deidesheim and is located in the historic town center . The former manor house on Ketschauerhofstrasse named after the property is a two-story plastered building. In its core it comes from a building from 1770–1772 based on plans by Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti . In 1849 a renovation took place according to plans by Hermann Nebel , while the upper floors were extended. The building has a flat hipped roof that rests on a console cornice. During the last renovation after the sale of the property in 2002, the manor house was converted into a hotel.

The inner courtyard can be reached through a rectangular gate north of the former manor house at the intersection of Ketschauerhofstrasse, Pfarrgasse and Kirchgasse; on the other hand through a courtyard gate to Heumarktstrasse, which is spanned by a round arch. On the left and right of the archway there is a coat of arms relief in the wall. The left, in a Renaissance frame, is marked with the year 1569 and bears the words "WIL (HELM SCH) LIDER VON LACHEN". The right one has become unrecognizable over the years; it probably showed the coat of arms of his wife.

To the west of the arched gate is a former farm building, which consists of two connected parts; they are marked 1817 and 1853. The two restaurants “1718” and “L. A. Jordan ”. To the northwest of the other entrance is another elongated former farm building. It is a one-story building with a gable roof that used to be a press house . It is marked 1822.

To the west of the inner courtyard framed by the three buildings is a small park that extends to Stadtmauergasse. The grave slab of the knight Arnold Schliederer von Lachen († 1430), governor of the Electorate of the Palatinate and court chef , is placed in the inner courtyard from the Lambrecht monastery church .
