Poppenhof (desert)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poppenhof (also Waldhof , Schwanbergerhof , Viehhof ) is a deserted area on the outskirts of the city of Iphofen in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen . The farm was burned down in 1847 and then not rebuilt.

Geographical location

The desert lies in the foothills of the Steigerwald at an altitude of about 303 m, relatively centrally on the Iphofens district. Today, the place is covered by forest. Some of the source streams of the Wehrbach run nearby . In the north, the district road KT 19 , here called Birklinger Strasse, passes the former courtyard. To the east is the Iphofer district of Birklingen , to the south the municipality of Markt Einersheim begins . To the west is the town of Iphofen.

history

The place name of the farm changed frequently. However, it was named after the first tenant, the Popp couple, to a large extent. At times the farm was also called "Walthof", meaning farm in the forest. The name Vieh- Hof appeared only once in the sources. The facility probably also had some farm animals. The location at the foot of the Schwanberg in the Steigerwald also led to the temporary naming after the mountain.

The Poppenhof was first mentioned in 1697 as “(...) new erected Baurenhof”. The city of Iphofen leased the farm to Beständer , the first tenant was Johann Popp, after whom the farm was also named. In 1714 Popp was plagued by snails and had to ask the city for a discount on the rent. On January 3, 1728, the farm came to the couple Georg and Margaretha Popp for three years.

After 1803 the Poppenhof appeared again in the sources. Christoph Brückner was owner of the court until 1813, then Anton Arnold until 1815. Adam Buchard succeeded him until 1836, who bequeathed the farm to his son Georg Buchard. In 1843 the innkeeper Andreas Guckenberger took over the farm, but did not run it himself. The sack farmer Anton Stöcker from Hohlweiler , who tilled the fields, was now sitting on the farm .

In the 19th century, the Poppenhof was at times an independent Iphofer district . In 1830 it consisted of a house and several stables. In 1846 the wasteland is noted with a house and a family. At that time eight people lived on the farm. In 1847 the farm burned down and was not rebuilt by the city. In 1867 the assumption was confirmed that the farm had fallen victim to arson . A sham field citizen confessed the act to the pastor.
