When the state well manager and leaseholder Moritz, who worked in the bath, left his service in 1821, he built the Sinntalhof (former spelling: Sinnthalshof or Sinnthalhof ) in the same year to spend his old age there. Amelie Moritz (1868–1918), who came from his family, brought the Sinntalhof and the associated lands into her marriage to the sculptor Sebastian Putz (1867–1937) in 1893.

In 1910 the Sinntalhof was badly damaged by a cyclone . In the same year, a new Sinntalhof was built, which served as a guest house , through which the Sebastan Putz family was able to generate a significant source of income, since agriculture was only a sideline. The old Sinntalhof was restored after the damage caused by the storm.

The Alte Sinntalhof is among other things the birthplace of the Reichstag member Ernst Putz , who took over the entire property from his parents in 1920.

Reform education school

In 1919/20 the Neue Sinntalhof was a stopover for the free school and work community founded by Bernhard Uffrecht (1885-1959) , who moved there from Auerbach in southern Hesse . At the same time, Putz made it possible for various groups of the youth movement ( Bündische Jugend ) to hold conferences at the Sinntalhof . This school project, which is still in its development phase, moved to Dreilinden in Brandenburg at Easter 1920 , before it later found its final location in Letzlingen, which was then Saxon (now Saxony-Anhalt) .

Between 1920 and 1923, the Neue Sinntalhof then housed the educational home founded by Ernst Putz with Gertrud (1889–1977) and Max Bondy , the Free School and Work Community Sinntalhof . On August 11, 1920, all of the city councilors of the Bavarian People's Party in Brückenau voted against the opening of this private school , because it had “no state authorization”, was based only on a “fluctuating, general idea” ( reform pedagogy , youth movement ) and had no fixed denominational reference to be taught to believe in God. The latter referred to the “general religious history teaching”, which was designed to be non-denominational and had neither a specific religious belief nor a denomination as its aim. The Catholic parish priest Franz Miltenberger also opposed this by submitting petitions to the Episcopal Ordinariate in Würzburg. The Bavarian Ministry of Culture provisionally recognized the school home on October 25, 1920; on September 12, 1921, the official state recognition took place. The boarding school was closed in 1923 due to differences between the two founders about Ernst Putz's management function. Bondy then moved to Gandersheim in Lower Saxony and founded his school community Gandersheim there .

The best-known teachers of these two school projects were, besides Uffrecht, Bernhard Hell and Hedda Korsch .

Early Christian community

In 1955 the Sinntalhof was handed over to the "Bruderhofgemeinschaft", an early Christian community, by the sculptor Charlotte Putz (1903–1960), Ernst Putz's youngest sister. She also belonged to this. In 1956 there were 25 community members with ties to Great Britain, the United States, and Paraguay. The Bruderhöfer live according to the principle of community of property . After legal disputes, the Bruderhof community had to give up the building again in 1961.
