There is a guild sign of the Weinschröter above the cellar exit . The ensemble is characterized by a wrought-iron coat of arms with the three Leiningen eagles of the family coat of arms.
history
The property was first mentioned in 1348, a related document is in the Mainz city archive . Over the centuries the Leininger Hof has had an eventful history. Whether the Mainz bishop Gottfried von Leiningen was involved in the expansion of the court cannot be proven. The early period is difficult to understand due to the poor sources, which were mainly caused by the turmoil of the Mainz collegiate feud . In the city map of 1568, ownership is attributed to the von Walbrun family. It is possible that they are the Lords of Wallbrunn , as Hans IV. Von Wallbrunn had greatly expanded his possessions in the previous century.
As early as the 17th century, the property was temporarily used as the Zum Leininger beer house. Parts of the building were converted into a locksmith's workshop in the middle of the 19th century. In the 1920s, the building ensemble was the seat of the Georg Freyd sauerkraut and canned cucumber factory. The Leininger Hof has been privately owned since 1978 and is now privately owned. The "Gutenbergburg" of the Mainzer Schlaraffia has been located in the Leininger Hof since 2018 .
