The Bangert manor was located in the former Rhine province , then the administrative district of Koblenz , near Bad Kreuznach . The manor was first mentioned in a document in 1326. In the Renaissance period it is documented as a moated castle .
The property, the Bangert, extended over the plateau of the Schlossberg, the southern slope of which is covered by vineyards , and over the wooded ridge of the Haardt , the Salinen-Wald and the Herrnwald, encompassing a total of about 1500 Prussian acres .
history
According to old documents and plans, the property belonged to a von Hardung family in 1530. The property was acquired in 1771 by Princess Henriette Amalie von Anhalt-Dessau (1720–1793) from the chief administrator Johann Philipp von Hartung (Hardung). Their main residence, however, remained the village of Bockenheim, just outside the gates of the free imperial city of Frankfurt am Main. The palace park is mentioned as "Bangert" or "Baumgarten" in a city council protocol as early as 1605. Mapped out as a garden or fruit tree area in plans from the 17th century, the site seems to have existed in the last quarter of the 18th century as a park-like complex in the Renaissance style. However, the name Bangert was retained. The unmarried princess lived with Baron von Rackmann, who was fifteen years his junior and who, through her intervention, was raised to the rank of imperial count as Baron von Bangert.
On the slopes of the Schlossberg, paths lead to the ruins of the Kauzenburg above the city .
In 1802 Andreas van Recum (1765–1828) acquired the property and had a house surrounded by water, gardens and parks built on the foundation walls of an old imperial castle. His son Otto Freiherr von Recum (1821–1885) expanded it in 1860, on the occasion of his wedding, with further additions and crenellated turrets. The manor fell to the Puricelli family of industrialists in 1881 . Carl Puricelli bought it for his son Heinrich Puricelli . The property was given a two-storey wing structure with a coach house that housed residential and farm buildings. The property in its current form is also known as the Puricelli Castle . The current appearance of the park also goes back to the Puricelli family, who commissioned a redesign in the form of a landscape park with an artificially indented pond, botanical rarities such as ginkgos, catalpa and elephant trees. The iron candelabra and craters in the park - products from the Puricellian ironworks - also date from this period.
After the Second World War , the estate was initially used by the Max Planck Institute for Agricultural Work and Technology before it was transferred to the city.
