Salmansweiler Hof (Überlingen)
The Salmansweiler Hof is a listed building complex in the city of Überlingen, which is still partly late Gothic on the outside . From 1530 to 1803 the nursing yard of the then Cistercian monastery Salem (formerly also called Salmannsweiler) was set up in it.
history
Around 1211 the Salem Abbey had acquired a piece of land and several goods in Überlingen and set up a nursing farm there. This was first mentioned in 1231, under the privilege of King Henry VII, together with the courtyards of the monastery in Ulm and Esslingen am Neckar . In the following years Salem gained further ownership in Überlingen and built, among other things, a courtyard complex with a stone house and, in 1319, a new building with a vaulted cellar and grain floors, not far from the St. Nikolaus Minster .
In 1525 and 1527 the Cistercians acquired two neighboring large properties with three houses on Obere Marktstrasse (today Franziskanerstrasse) in Überlingen. From 1530 the new city courtyard of the imperial abbey was built on this site. It is unclear whether and how much of the building fabric of the three predecessor houses was included in the structures of today's buildings.
The new system is composed of two traufständigen solid structures with stepped gables together, the late Gothic by a two-storey, crenellated Torbau with Erker , are interconnected. However, these battlements on the connecting structure have no real function here, they merely represented symbols of the imperial abbey. Characterized by two ogival windows, a star-vaulted late Gothic chapel was built into the ground floor of the northern building in 1535 . Today there is a shop in it.
The fact that Emperor Ferdinand I lived there in 1563 on the occasion of his visit to the imperial city of Überlingen speaks for the importance and equipment of the Salmansweiler Hof at that time. The court was also considered a refuge for the abbots and monks of the Cistercian monastery. After secularization , the south wing of the former care courtyard housed a brewery and restaurant until the beginning of the 20th century . The print shop of the local Überlinger Zeitung ( Der Seebote ) was located in the north wing . The building complex is now used as a residential and commercial building.
