history
The oldest documented evidence of settlement in the place dates back to 1313, when Albrecht von Hohenlohe and his wife Hedwig sold their property in Sensfeld, Sigelbach, Swerze, Korbe and Buchsheim to the Seligental monastery . In 1421 Fritz Duming von Domeneck owned a farm in Schwärtz , which he bequeathed to the monastery in Möckmühl. This farm was probably the original manor of the village, since in the 16th century the farm comprised 121 acres of land. The farm was called Dumingshof , later called Thennichshof . In addition to this farm there were at least three other farms in the village of Schwärz. In addition to the Seligental Monastery and the Möckmühl Canons' Monastery, St. Katharina also owned the Frühmesspfründe at the Möckmühl parish church . In the course of the Reformation, the Seligental property came to Württemberg . The Thennichshof had meanwhile become the inheritance of the farmers who farmed it until 1582 .
The place was abandoned during the Thirty Years War . The courtyards and their corridors lay fallow for several decades after the Peace of Westphalia . The corridor of the equally deserted village of Siegelbach , northwest of Schwärz, was no longer cultivated and boundary stones were lost, so that the exact course of the small-scale markings was forgotten.
A rounded marking of Schwärz was only created during the remeasurement in the course of resettlement in 1679. As early as 1688, the rebuilt Thennichshof was completely looted in the Palatinate War of Succession . In 1696, Franz von Tolnay de Goellye , who had made a name for himself as a military negotiator in the Möckmühl office and who later also founded the Tolnayshof , acquired the Thennichshof. With Tolnay's entire Möckmühler possession, the court came to Captain Alexander Krumhaar in 1701. After this got into Gant in 1710 , the owners changed several times until the farm finally came to the Lords of Ellrichshausen , who leased it to farmers. From the middle of the 18th century, the Hörcher family was the tenant of the property, now known as the Schwärzerhof , for a long time . The later tenant Emil Ege (1833-1893) was a member of the Württemberg state parliament.
Through the marriage of Olga von Ellrichshausen (1883–1967) with Leo von Lüttichau (1882–1965), the farm passed into the possession of the Counts of Lüttichau by 1912 at the latest . The Aussiedlerhof Schwärz II , only a few hundred meters away , was built in 1965.
