The former town hall of Lützelsachsen is a two-storey, plastered building with a gable roof with a turret, a large clock face in the east gable and a younger street passage probably stands where the town hall already stood in 1606. The current building was rebuilt from 1674 to 1688 after the destruction, rebuilt in 1808 and comprehensively renovated in 2015. The former town hall characterizes the town center and is the town's landmark. It is currently used as the administrative center of the city of Weinheim .
location
The town hall is located within the Etter of the medieval village of Lützelsachsen. The settlement of Lützelsachsen, located on the Bergstrasse south of Weinheim , emerged like the other Sachsenorte in the Merovingian period . In 877 it was referred to as "Sahsenheim minor", the earliest of the three Saxony towns with its own name. Although no row graves have been discovered in Lützelsachsen so far, the place could go back to the time of row graves. Thanks to donations from the 9th and 10th centuries, Lützelsachsen came almost entirely into the hands of the Lorsch Monastery . In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Hirschberg-Strahlberg were enfeoffed with the Vogtei, under Palatinate sovereignty. In the second half of the 14th century, the feudal sovereignty passed to the Palatinate. The von Erligheim family had been the fiefs since 1261, Landschad from 1550 and von Hundheim from 1700 to 1812. From 1803 under Baden sovereignty. The settlement core with a ladder-shaped floor plan on both sides of the Mühlbach extends in an east-west direction. The extensive new districts create a continuous settlement zone between Weinheim and Hohensachsen.
history
The town hall lies within the archaeological substance of the medieval and early modern monastery courtyard.
The Lorsch Monastery had a large farm in Lützelsachsen as the center of its manorial rule on site. In 1071 Abbot Ulrich designated the estate to maintain the Altenmünster provost. Even after the abbey was abolished, the court remained with the monastery, but in the 14th century rights of local rule (probably arising from the bailiwick) can be proven in the monastery courtyard. 1574 still referred to as Lorsch monastery courtyard, in 1588 the courtyard house is still mentioned, which stood at the beginning of the Schlossgasse. Remains above ground are no longer visible, not even from the Zehntscheuer (Schlossgasse 7). The cloister courtyard is only preserved as a ground monument, which, however, is of increased importance due to its old age. Preservation is in the public interest for scientific and local history reasons.
Parish hall
According to the building history studies, it is more of a community hall than a town hall: There are a number of features missing from a complete town hall, such as B. a writing room. There were actually only three rooms: a formerly open two-aisled basement (“market hall”), an arbor on the upper floor, open on two sides and closed to the north, which accommodates the stairs from the ground floor and a spacious anteroom, and 2/3 of the upper floor occupying hall (use as a dance hall / drinking room?). The anteroom could have had the function of a place of court (“court arbor”). It is not known whether the attic was used, there are no signs of development. A characteristic feature is the diagonally arranged arbor illuminated by 2 × 2 basket arches.
The building was half-timbered, but the architectural decoration is rather restrained, as is the color scheme. Rafted softwood was used, which was relatively rare.
Refurbishment in 2015
layout
The building, which was plastered until recently, is now to be produced as a half-timbered building (from the upper edge of the ground floor ceiling) on the basis of the restoration examination. The plaster compartments should be kept in an off-white tone with a gray comma with a black companion and the framework should be gray. The ornaments and window frames outside should be designed in oxide red. Inside, too, the historic ceiling is to be made on the upper floor according to the findings. Interior walls are kept in an off-white tone. The windows will be reused, the roof turrets will be re-slated, sound shutters will be renewed in oak. The tip of the roof ridge from the mid-19th century is again gilded with 24-carat gold.
planning
The approval for the repair of the former town hall includes the renovation and structural measures. Two office rooms, a toilet, storage room and the installation of a new staircase from the first floor to the upper floor are planned on the ground floor; an office, a council room, kitchenette, toilet and storage room are planned for the upper floor. Additional purlin struts were installed in the attic. There is no cellar.
