Rothhof (Bischberg)
Rothhof is a district of the municipality of Bischberg in the Bamberg district , where seven people live.
Naming
The name arose from the clearing of the forest and not from the coloring as with the farm of the same name between Bamberg and Wildensorg , which was broken off in the mid-1960s.
history
The Bamberg citizen Konrad Haller (* 1355; † 1433) is named as the first owner. The farm remained in the possession of this family until 1455, when the Katharinenspital in Bamberg bought it for 650 Rhenish guilders. The farm was a leasehold of the Katharinenspital. A fish pond was first mentioned in 1486. During the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), the Aussiedlerhof, which in 1607 was called Schlösschen, was not cultivated. The building complex survived the religious war unscathed. In 1710 the buildings were renovated. Probably irreparable damage suggested the idea of a new building.
New building
From spring to winter of 1739 the house, which still stands today, was built under the direction of the prince-bishop's court architect Johann Jakob Michael Küchel (* 1703; † 1769). Only ten years later was the interior of the building ready for occupancy. Rothhof was given the final size of the estate with carriage hall, horse stable, etc., as it existed until around 1970, in 1784.
After secularization
After the dissolution of the bishopric and the secularization of the Katharinenspital in Bamberg, which owned the farm for 348 years, it came into the possession of the Bavarian state in 1803, which in 1911 sold it to the farmer Johann Brahmann. He set up an inn in it, which was given up in the 2000s.
