from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Istein Dinghof around 1874

The Istein Castle (Dinghof, Freyhof, Meygerhof, Meierhof, Freystedts Schlössli, Karlsruher Schlossgut, Schlossgut Istein) was originally the Dinghof of the Basel cathedral provost , from whom his possessions in Istein and Huttingen were administered.

history

Dinghof of the Provost of Basel (1139–1802)

On April 14, 1139 Istein was first as Curtim de Hiesten documented, as Pope . Innocent II the Bishopric of Basel confirmed the site as property. It remains unclear whether initially only the Alemannic Dinghof existed or whether there was already a Celtic or Roman settlement. The gentlemen von Rötteln are considered the first owners of the Dinghof . Since in a document of Emperor Heinrich III. From June 1, 1048 the place Istein does not appear in the confirmed possessions of the diocese, the transition from the Röttlers to Basel must have taken place between 1048 and 1139. Since Dietrich von Rötteln was appointed by the Bishop of Basel, Burkhard von Fenis , to the bishopric of the right bank of the Rhine of the diocese of Basel in 1103 , it is assumed that in return for the transfer of the Isteiner Dinghof to the cathedral chapter, the latter transferred the patronage to the Röttlers - the Dinghof 1103 came to the cathedral chapter. In the 13th century there was a general development in the dioceses that led to the separation of the property of the bishops from those of the members of the cathedral chapters. Ultimately, the individual functionaries in the cathedral chapter were assigned their own goods for use. The Isteiner Dinghof thus came to be used for furnishing the respective cathedral provost. The oldest berain of the Dinghof estates from 1483 lists 11 hooves . The area of ​​all goods belonging to the Dinghof was estimated at 155 Jucharten arable land and 52 man-made vines for the 15th century .

The Lords of Rötteln and then the Margraves of Hachberg-Sausenberg remained bailiffs of the Dinghof and the town. From 1503 this function was performed by the bishopric in Birseck and later by the bailiff in Schliengen .

Johann Rudolf von Hallwyl became provost of the cathedral in 1504 and thus owner of the Dinghof in Istein. In 1505, in a contract between him and the Basel bishop Christoph von Utenheim, the sovereign rights of the bishop were delimited in detail from the manorial rights of the cathedral provost.

The Dinghof was rebuilt from 1566 by the newly appointed Meier des Dinghof and Bishop of Binzen , Marx von Jestetten, and surrounded by a wall. In 1591 his son Hans Kaspar followed him in these functions. In 1601 the court came to Hans Christoph Schenk von Castell as a fiefdom of the cathedral provost. In 1687 the fiefdom fell back to the then cathedral provost, Johann Heinrich Franz von Flachsland, as the heirs were minors and no one in the family was willing to take over the run-down Dinghof. He and Franz Heinrich von Hertenstein, who succeeded him in 1695, expanded the Dinghof by buying land. In the 18th century, the Dinghof property was leased to changing families on the one hand, and on the other hand it was partly managed for the provost by day laborers under the supervision of the Meiers. The Dinghof burned down at the end of the 18th century and was only rebuilt after being bought by von Freystedt .

Transfer to the Electorate of Baden (1802)

In 1803, through the secularization of the Principality of Basel , the Dinghof fell to the Electorate of Baden, which was newly created by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . The provisional military occupation of Istein took place on September 24, 1802; the provisional civilian possession by Baden took place on November 30, 1802. From 1802 to 1811 the Dinghof was managed by the clerical administration in Lörrach. The goods were in very poor condition when they passed to Baden. The income was mainly used to pay the pensions that Baden had to pay to the members of the cathedral chapter and to the former Prince-Bishop Franz Xaver von Neveu .

Estate of the Barons of Freystedt (1811–1917)

In 1811 Karl von Freystedt - a grandson of the Grand Duke Karl Friedrich of Baden - bought the Dinghof, which mainly included vineyards in the Istein area and fields in the Huttingen area.

In 1829 a belvedere was built at the height of the Isteiner Klotz on the occasion of a visit by Stéphanie de Beauharnais , the widow of Grand Duke Karl . On May 2, 1845, the Istein estate was granted the legal status of an ancestral estate by Grand Duke Leopold .

Rebland from the castle estate was also expropriated for the construction of the railway from Schliengen towards Basel . After the railway line went into operation here in November 1848, the road around the Klotzen was also laid out in 1850-1853, fulfilling a request from Freystedt. The straightening of the Rhine changed the landscape around Istein significantly.

Heinrich von Freystedt was a passionate rider who also devoted himself to horse breeding. He spent his retirement partly in Karlsruhe and partly on his estate in Istein , where in 1850 he expanded the former Dinghof of the cathedral chapter of Basel into a small castle with a park.

The Grand Ducal Oberhofmarschall Freiherr Leopold von Freystedt donated his 28 hectare estate, including residential and economic buildings , located in the Istein and Huttingen districts, including residential and economic buildings, to the city of Karlsruhe as a gift and possession with effect from January 1, 1917 “to alleviate the effects of the war resulting need ”.

The city of Karlsruhe and the district of Lörrach (1917–2007)

Castle of the Barons of Freystedt in Istein

The city of Karlsruhe installed a manager on the estate and tried to use the site primarily as a vineyard and fruit estate. The property was badly damaged in the Second World War , which prompted the Karlsruhe municipal council again to question the profitability of the property.

With a purchase agreement dated December 22, 1953, the city of Karlsruhe sold the property to the district of Lörrach . In 2007 the district of Lörrach sold the castle estate, which has since been used as a private winery.

Private winery since 2007

In 2015 the company, run as Schlossgut Istein GmbH, belonged to Royal Vinum GmbH with owner Herbert Faubel. The grapes from the Emil Marget winery in Hügelheim, which also belongs to the Royal Vinum, are also processed in the Schlossgut Istein.

Schlossgut Istein Fund

The sales proceeds from 2007 (EUR 1 million) were contributed to the Schlossgut Istein Fund , whose income is used to promote regional culture. Since 2009, both the district's own projects and third-party projects have been able to receive financial support. The project funding amounts to 8,000 to 20,000 euros annually. 2018/19 was z. B. the digitization of the publications of the history association Markgräflerland promoted.
