history

Documented Schweighof was first mentioned on 20 October 1144 "Sweic-hus", as Count of Gotebold II. Henneberg by the Bamberg bishop Egilbert the monastery Georgenberg with the tithe was equipping of Schweighof. The name is derived from the herd of cattle and indicates a farm with larger livestock. Until the Reformation, the Schweighof was owned directly by Veßra Monastery . In 1533 the Count von Henneberg-Schleusingen took over the property and made himself supreme ruler. In 1562 he leased the court, making it a princely chamber property . In 1642 the estate came to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm . As part of the distribution of the Saxon Gotha chamber goods , Schweighof became the property of Duke Heinrich von Sachsen-Römhild in 1677 , who sold it to his older brother Duke Albrecht von Sachsen-Coburg in 1683 . After his death in 1699, the property belonged to everyone entitled to inheritance until it fell to Saxe-Gotha in 1723. Since 1717 the manor has had a brewery, the hospitality of which was certified in a lease letter to the chamber property. In 1805 the Gothaische Kammergüter Schweighof and Rosenau were acquired by the ducal chamber in Coburg. In 1855, 19 people lived on the estate, which had two houses, one of which was an inn, nine barns, a brewery and an oven. In 1910 there were 44 inhabitants.

From 1892 to 1988 there was a stop on the Coburg – Bad Rodach railway line in Schweighof. In 1919, the Schweighof was transferred to the Free State of Coburg as a domain property as part of a severance payment arrangement from Duke Carl Eduard . After it became part of the Free State of Bavaria , the estate became a Bavarian state domain in 1920.

On April 1, 1928, Schweighof was incorporated into Elsa and, like Elsa, on May 1, 1978, it became part of a Rodach district.

The Coburg Forestry Operation of the Bavarian State Forests has been managing the Schweighof estate, which is leased , since 2005.
