history

Kirschgartshausen was first mentioned in a document in 1272 under the name "Husen" , when Eberhard von Ehrenberg gave the Schönau monastery its pastures there. The Wittelsbach Count Palatine near Rhine owned a dairy here and the Worms Monastery also owned an estate that was part of the Burgraviate of Worms . The Counts of Zweibrücken had given this to the Lords of Ehrenberg as a fiefdom . The latter transferred their fiefdom in "Husen" to the Cistercian nuns of the Kirschgarten Monastery in 1274 , and in 1275 also the bailiwick with court and all accessories. The monastery thus became the largest landowner in the area, which later bore the name "Kirschgartshausen" . The St. Gangolf chapel there is mentioned for the first time in 1277. It was under the control of the Cyriakus monastery in Worms-Neuhausen , but of which there are no remains today.

In 1422 the (almost extinct) Kirschgarten Monastery sold its properties in Kirschgartshausen to Elector Ludwig III. from the Palatinate , who united them with his estate and had the place fortified and surrounded with ditches. Through acquisitions of smaller lands and rights, the Electoral Palatinate became the sole owner until 1508 and also had to maintain the chapel and pastoral care. Kirschgartshausen was now an electoral Palatinate table good and in 1684 Elector Karl II transferred it to his Oberststallmeister and governor of Frankenthal Count Karl Ludwig zu Sayn-Wittgenstein († 1699), who from then on called himself "Herr zu Kirschgartshausen" . From this family, the Flecken fell back to the Electoral Palatinate in 1768. The Sayn-Wittgensteiners had mainly settled Mennonites there , including as temporary land tenants and others. a. also Ulrich Möllinger, the grandfather of the Palatinate agrarian reformer David Möllinger .

1803 went Kirschgartshausen (together with Mannheim) from the Electoral Palatinate to the Electorate of Baden . A military customs station was built there as the last Baden settlement before the Hessian state border . Elector Karl Friedrich von Baden in 1804 handed over the estate as state domain and Hausfideikommiss ingredient to his then still unebenbürtigen sons, Count of Hochberg which is entitled to inherit as princes of the 1818 house of Baden recognized. In 1919 the Kirschgartshausen state domain fell to the Republic of Baden , most recently to the State of Baden-Württemberg .

Under the Electoral Palatinate, the place was administratively part of the Heidelberg Oberamt , in Baden time it was part of the Ladenburg District Office , and from 1864 it was part of the Mannheim District Office . In October 1930 it was incorporated into the city of Mannheim . At that time the population consisted of 9 resident families and around 100 seasonal agricultural workers. About 1/3 of the fields were planted with potatoes and sugar beets, the rest with rye, wheat, barley and oats.

Building stock

The Dorfstraße, which runs from south to north, parallel to the B 44, leads directly to the centrally located manor house . It is the most important property and was last used as a restaurant. Today it is - like most of the buildings there - uninhabited and neglected. It is a castle-like, two-storey building from the 18th century, the core of which is probably still medieval. It extends in an east-west direction, has a half-hip roof with a turret, has 8 window axes and a lower extension on each side. There is a two-sided flight of stairs in front of the house. To the west, the manor house has a passage where medieval masonry can still be recognized. The door lintel in the left extension is labeled: 19 MAXIMILIAN PRINZ U. MARKGRAF ZU BADEN 11

If you drive towards the manor house on Dorfstrasse, to the east (on the right), facing the street, there is a large plastered building with classical sandstone door jambs bearing the Baden state coat of arms and the designation "1827" . It is likely to be the former administration (house no. 12). The year 1827, adorned with the coat of arms, indicates that the house served as the official residence of the staff holder (mayor), who was appointed for the first time that year , and that after the planned establishment of a local congregation in 1828, it should also be the town hall.

Diagonally opposite is a representative Art Nouveau villa, with a large Baden stone coat of arms above the door and the inscription: 19 · BUILT UNDER MAXIMILIAN PRINCE AND MARGRAVE OF BADEN · 09 . It was the residence of the domain administrator (house no. 14) and the building inscription refers - as on the manor house - to the last Imperial Chancellor Prince Max von Baden .

To the west, a good way off the village path, there is a large barn, in the north gable wall of which a Baden coat of arms stone with the year 1836 is embedded. Next to it is an unadorned, large residential building (house no. 16), the lintel of which bears the following inscription next to the Baden coat of arms: LW and M MARKGRAFEN zu BADEN 1822 . These are the prince brothers Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden and Maximilian von Baden .
