history

The Schreckhof was mentioned for the first time together with Nüstenbach in a document from 1305 on the occasion of a donation of proceeds from both places to the collegiate church of St. Juliana in Mosbach. It is considered late, i.e. H. high medieval foundation. At the time it was first mentioned there was a vineyard in the Schreckhof. In the late Middle Ages, the Schreckhof was the sole property of the Electoral Palatinate , which had the farm run by a courtier until the Thirty Years War . The farm's working areas were within the Diedesheim and Neckarelz markings, and the farm also had grazing rights on various surrounding markings. From 1640 to 1732 the Schreckhof was the fief of the respective castle people at Neuburg Castle . After the Thirty Years' War , the farm was first owned by the von Cloos family. Members of the family also lived there at times. Their coat of arms can still be found today on the historic main building of the courtyard. Christoph Cloos von Neuburg died there in 1691. In 1731 the Schreckhof came into the possession of Joseph Franz Xaver von Mezger. After his death in 1747 the farm was run down and all buildings were dilapidated. The Palatinate Court Chamber then divided the fief into four parts and awarded the court to four civil hereditary estates. This was the first time that the courtyard, which had previously only consisted of a manorial house and ancillary buildings, was significantly expanded.

The farm belonged to the centering Mosbach and was under the winery in Neckarelz. In the course of the 19th century the Schreckhof tenants acquired their farms as property. The Schreckhof formed its own mark in the future. A baton holder presided over the residents. In 1884 the farmers had the settlement connected to a spring in the Neckar valley. The water was pumped up the mountain using two hydraulic rams . In 1924 the Schreckhof was incorporated into Diedesheim and with it came to Mosbach in 1973.
