history

According to a not exactly dated document from the period from 1234 to 1250, the Order of Lazarus exchanged its goods in Nierstein for the goods of Philipp von Hohenfels in Mehgersheim . He had previously bought the goods from the Frankfurt citizen Presto (ne). The sources are silent about the origin of the goods in Nierstein and when they came into the possession of the order. A commander was set up in Megersheim, which may have already existed in Nierstein.

The comedian in Megersheim quickly got into financial difficulties, because on January 7, 1266 the above praeceptor Friedrich and Hertwig, the (house) commander of Megersheim, sold all of the order's possessions in and near Bretzenheim to the Dalen nunnery near Mainz . They had received these goods from a Baldemarus and his wife Odilia.

On November 11, 1271 Heinrich von Graba, Preceptor of the Order of Lazarus in Germany appointed a brother Volbert to the Commendator / Commander of the order houses Schlatt , Gfenn and Uri . The certificate was issued in Megersheim ( Megorzheim ). On May 30, 1273, Brother H., Master of the Order of Lazarus in Germany (meaning Heinrich von Graba), authorized his Commander Volbert to dispose of the upper houses with the church of Hasle, which he and the Commander of the upper houses had for the benefit consider beneficial to the honor of the Order. This certificate was also issued in Megersheim. On January 7, 1274, Heinrich Graba, praeceptor of all Lazarite houses on this side of the sea, confirmed the transfer of the church sentence to Hasle. Interestingly, this certificate was issued in Breitenbich.

In 1275 the provincial commander Heinrich (von Graba) confirmed the donation of a Bertrada de Tullstet to the hospital in Gotha.

On September 7, 1316, the last commander of Megersheim, Heinrich von Dobelsheim, sold all of the commander's possessions to judge Salmann in Mainz for 880 pounds groschen because of great guilt and usury on the house . Salman, in turn, sold it to the von Falkenstein family only two years later. In 1540 the Dreieichenhain hospital came into the possession of the Merßheim court . In 1696 the Isenburgische Spital zu Dreieichenhain sold the Mörßheimer Hof for 6,300 florins to the Solmsian cellar Johann Gottfried Satorius zu Rödelheim and the mint master Ludwig Balthasar Müller in Hanau. Around / before 1720 the farm was renamed Schönauer Hof.
