Pleikartsforster yard
The Pleikartsförster Hof is a hamlet in the area of the city of Heidelberg . It is located about four kilometers southwest of the center and is part of the Kirchheim district .
geography
The Pleikartsförster Hof is halfway between the districts of Kirchheim and Pfaffengrund , about 500 meters west of Diebsweges. The only way to get there is the Oftersheimer Weg, which touches the hamlet in the north. A few hundred meters north is the former US airfield, now the Heidelberg Army Heliport . The historical core is a largely closed complex of several independent farmsteads, which are grouped around a central square with a fountain, and whose main buildings were built between the end of the 18th and the middle of the 19th century. On Oftersheimer Weg there are also a few houses that are much more recent.
history
The first mentions come from the period between 1140 and 1152 under the name Bliggersforst . The settlement is viewed as a high medieval development site on the edge of the Hegenich Forest , which no longer exists today. The probable founders are the Landschad von Steinach : on the one hand, the first name Bligger was common in this family, on the other hand, in the 12th century they were closely related to the noble free von Kirchheim, who exercised lower jurisdiction until around 1200 . From then on it was transferred to the Schönau monastery , which had already acquired the property before 1152 against payment of an annual sum to the monasteries of St. Martin and Neuhausen .
After the takeover, the monks initially managed the estate themselves, but in the 15th century at the latest it was leased to farmers. For the year 1559 two tenant families are documented, the owner was the care Schönau as the successor of the monastery which was closed in 1558. In 1652 the complex was sold to a member of the noble Quadt family and completely destroyed in January 1689 in the course of the Palatinate War of Succession . After the reconstruction there were mostly four families who lived there as tenants; From the 1850s onwards, the farms were quickly acquired by them. In the Pleikartsförster Hof lived, among others, the driver family, whose descendants founded and ran the Feldschlösschen brewery in Oggersheim .
The Pleikartsforster Hof had no district of its own , but was in that of Kirchheim; The responsible schools and churches were also located there. Early on, possibly from the beginning and until its dissolution in 1803, it belonged to the Kirchheimer Zent and thus to the Electoral Palatinate .
