Münchhof (Rhineland-Palatinate)
Münchhof

The Münchhof was an estate in Hochspeyer in the Kaiserslautern district in Rhineland-Palatinate , Germany . It is the oldest part of the village.

history

Franc time

The farm ( Hube ) was probably founded in the 8th or 9th century by a Franconian farmer named Leiderat . The Palatinate was part of the Frankish Empire at that time.

In a document from the 13th century, the Münchhof was called Leideradehoba (Hube des Leiderat).

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages, the Münchhof came to the Otterberg Monastery as Hof Sendelborn . The name means fountain of the Sendel .

In a document dated November 28, 1195, Emperor Heinrich Vl. the monks their claim to ownership of the Sendelborn court - this was given to them by Syfridus de Hospira (Siegfried von Hochspeyer) or sold.

In 1217 there was a dispute between the Lords of Diemerstein and the Otterberg monastery about the dues to be paid by the court.

In the 13th century Münchhof included the land of the corridor , the Bächelwiesen , and handed to the height of the later parish Ackers . The farm was exempted from tithing duties in 1304 by Count Friedrich von Leiningen , so the proceeds belonged to the Otterberg Monastery without restrictions until its closure in 1564 .

In the 17th and 18th centuries

In the Thirty Years War , Hochspeyer and the Münchhof are destroyed and remain deserted for a long time.

In 1669 the Münchhof passed to Duke Ludwig Heinrich Moritz von Simmern as part of an inheritance division . In the same year, he gave the estate on lease to the local Heinrich Münch ( Münchhof ) and to Rudolf Würtz, an Anabaptist who had been expelled from Switzerland.

During the French rule (1792–1814) the Münchhof was sold to the previous tenants. Until the beginning of the 21st century, the farm was managed and lived in by the Mennonite Würtz family. A notice board attached in July 2018 with the heading Anabaptist traces reminds of this .

In the 20th century

In 1975 the older Münchhof building from 1672 was demolished due to its dilapidation.
