The Schafhof Eschau (also: Schafhof zu Sommerau ) is a wasteland , lies in the district of Sommerau , municipality Eschau , on the district road MIL 26 in the Bavarian district of Miltenberg and is a former agricultural estate of the Barons von Fechenbach / Aufseß .

history

The landowners Hartmann Freiherr von Fechenbach zu Sommerau and Friedrich Karl Joseph Freiherr von Fechenbach zu Laudenbach are entered in the renovated property tax register from 1856 .

After the first recording in 1844, the Schafhof consisted of two neighboring farms, there are also two house numbers, 62 (today Schafhof 1) and 63. The second farm with number 63 was about 30 m further north of house number 62, left and right of today's Eichelsbacher Strasse. The property with the number 63 has gone and there is nothing to be seen of it.

The keystone with the year 1777 probably comes from the earlier, now walled-up arched entrance.

The sheep farm was leased towards the end of the 19th century . The first tenants were the Hieronymus Zöller family and after his death in 1931 a Seufert family. From 1935, the sheep farm was leased to the Hermann and Charlotte Kuttruf family, who bought the farm in 1955 and managed it for two more generations until 2013. After that, Volker Mergler acquired the former manor with an attached restaurant and guesthouse.

On Good Friday, March 30, 1945, the Schafhof was set on fire by the advancing Americans from Eichelsbach and burned down completely.
