Ensemble old town Amorbach

The ensemble encompasses the core area of ​​the town of Amorbach, which is impressively situated on the edge of the Odenwald in the valley floor of the Mud . The development of the settlement is closely linked to the emergence of the important Benedictine monastery in the 8th century at the intersection of two old streets.

Amorbach, monastery complex

To the north of the extensive monastery complex, which was largely redesigned in the late baroque, the Upper Town developed first, which was given town charter in 1253 under the auspices of the monastery, Konrad von Dürn . It was fortified with ramparts and moats in the 14th century and with a wall in the 15th. Remnants of these facilities have been preserved mainly north of the Schenk- and Kellereigasse and form the boundaries of the ensemble there, or they can still be seen in the routing of streets, such as on Geisgraben.

The city, which had been under the rule of the Archbishopric of Mainz since 1272, developed a wealth of building activity in the 15th century. The town hall on the market square and the former department store (Am Stadttor 5) manifest the self-image of the bourgeois town, which was closed by a gate at the end of Pfarrgasse, at the entrance to Löhrstraße and at the transition to the monastery district at Freihof. By participating in the Peasants' War, however, the city lost its self-government in 1528. The work of the Kurmainzischen Oberamtsverwaltung in this epoch is still vivid with the stately late Gothic buildings of the official cellar and the toe barn in the cellar alley.

South of the Upper Town and in the Middle Ages also fortified monastery district was the city in large-scale, planned expansion in the late Middle Ages, the Lower. Its two main axes, Löhrstrasse and Abteigasse, extend southwards to the Mud River and are connected by Schmiedsgasse immediately in front of the abbey. Garden areas that are an essential part of the character of the city extend between them. The 18th century - initiated by the millennium of the founding of the monastery - brought the great baroque redesign of the abbey, which began in 1742 with the new building of the collegiate church by Maximilian von Welsch , reached its first climax with the consecration of 1747 and with the generous surroundings The reshaping of the monastery building continued right up to the point of secularization .

The Princely House of Leiningen , which came into the possession of the complex in 1803 after the main conclusion of the extraordinary Reich Deputation, enriched the abbey, which had grown into a baroque residence, in the early 19th century with the Seegarten, an English park that belongs to the ensemble and to the south into the open Odenwald landscape passes over, as well as some classical buildings such as the stables and the building yard. In competition with this spiritual building activity, the Upper City was also expanded in a baroque style under the Mainzischen Oberamtsverwaltung in the 18th century. The dominant buildings are the Oberamtshaus at the northern end of the market square, completed in 1727, the Princely Palace since 1803 , and next to it the Catholic parish church , completed in 1754 and with its baroque double tower facade has the same urban development status as the twin-towered collegiate church.

Parish Church of St Gangolf

Closed two-storey buildings predominate in the individual squares and streets. The market square is also dominated by three-storey half- hipped or hipped roof houses , mostly from the 17th to early 19th centuries. On the south side of Pfarrgasse there are eaves houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. Century, on the north side mostly half-timbered gabled houses from the 16th / 17th centuries. Century. The Schenkgasse, a narrow street of petty bourgeois character with one and two-story eaves and gabled houses mostly from the 16th to 18th centuries is also characterized by its paving, front stairs and cellar hatches; the adjoining Bahnhofstrasse is mainly with half-timbered houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. Century built. The short streets at Am Stadttor, Geisgraben, Johannesturmstraße with closed bourgeois buildings mostly from the 16th / 18th centuries. Century mediate from the upper to the lower city or to the abbey, in between are the large classical buildings of the Badischer Hof and the building built as a department store by Peter Speeth , both from 1805.

In the Lower City, the western side of Schmiedsgasse has almost uniform half-hipped roof houses from the 18th and early 19th centuries, while Löhrstraße mostly has gabled houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. Century, rebuilt many times as commercial buildings. In the Abteigasse there are two- and three-storey arable bourgeois eaves - sided houses mostly from the 18th to the early 19th century. In the vicinity of the ensemble, a small baroque residential town, whose silhouette is characterized by the two pairs of towers of its churches and the red sandstone of its monumental buildings, the visual connections between the city and the Gotthardsberg with its Romanesque church ruins, between the city and the Wolkmanns-Berg , on the other side of the Mud, between Schloßplatz, Seegarten and the meadow and forest area to the southwest and between the town and the town of Schneeberg are of importance.

Remarks

1. ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The property of a monument - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the Monument Atlas and the entry in the Bavarian Monument List. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
