The stone building

The former Kurmainzische winery in Buchen (Odenwald) , a town in the Neckar-Odenwald district in Baden-Württemberg , is a cultural monument from the end of the 15th century.

description

The former Kurmainzische Kellerei is a courtyard area in the formerly eastern area of ​​the old town of Buchen, which was fortified by a city wall, with an ensemble of four buildings: the stone building, the Trunzerhaus, the tithe barn and the Belz house. From 1309 to 1803, the administration of the Mainz office of Buchen was located here with the office of the official cellar . Today's museum courtyard formed the center.

In 1803 the buildings went to the Principality of Leiningen . The town of Buchen has owned the winery since 1868.

Stone construction

The so-called Steinerne Bau (Kellereistraße 29), a massive stone building with a striking bay window , was built in 1493 under the Archbishop of Mainz, Berthold von Henneberg, directly on the Würzburg Gate, which was demolished in 1815/16 and to which it was connected by a battlement. The house is clearly recognizable on the oldest known picture of Beech, a hunting border map from 1593.

The building now houses a main part of the Buchen District Museum , a collection presentation founded by Karl Trunzer (1856–1927), Karl Hoffacker (1856–1919) and the architect Karl Kraus ( Darmstadt ), which was opened in 1915.

Trunzerhaus

The Trunzerhaus

In the so-called Trunzerhaus (Kellereistraße 27), a half-timbered building with a bricked ground floor from the beginning of the 16th century, was the apartment of the official cellar. It is named after Karl Trunzer , the founder of the district museum, who lived in the house from 1901 until his death.

The German-Swedish composer and court conductor Joseph Martin Kraus (1756–1792) spent his youth here as the son of the Electoral Mainz office of Joseph Bernhard Kraus. A commemorative plaque is on the front of the building.

Part of the collection presentation of the district museum is located in the building.

Tithe barn

The tithe barn

The Zehntscheune (Kellereistraße 25) was built in 1627 under the Archbishop of Mainz, Georg Friedrich von Greiffenclau zu Vollrads . With the abolition of tithing, the sale of crops, taxes had to be paid in cash . With this the building lost its original purpose.

After extensive renovation in 1978, the building housed the city archive, the local library, museum pieces from the district museum and the Museum of the Narrenring Main-Neckar.

Belz's house

The Belz house

The Belzsche Haus , residential and economic building at Haagstrasse 10 with a half-timbered tower on a massive substructure, is a protected cultural monument. On the north side there are window frames from 1617 and a portal marked with the year 1623. On the south side there is a portal marked with the year 1618.

As studies have shown, the two halves of the floor plan were used differently and also show differences in the construction. Therefore a different use (in the east a stable or barn use and in the west a residential use) is assumed.

The building serves as the administrative headquarters of the Buchen District Museum, museum education and other cultural purposes.

Götz von Berlichingen

In April 1525, during the German Peasants' War, the "bright bunch" of Odenwald farmers gathered in the courtyard of the winery and forced Götz von Berlichingen to take over the main team .
