Stilt yard
The Stelzenhof , also called Groß Erlich , is a former manorial estate in Moschendorf , a district of Hof .
The history of the Stelzenhof begins in 1386 as a fiefdom and a single courtyard of the Kotzauer as "Großer Ehrlich". The "Kleine Ehrlich" was later given the name Erlhof, which lasted until 1590. In 1594, the great Ehrlich came into the possession of the Stelzner family through marriage. After 1630 the owners changed more frequently. Wolf Oswalt Prückner, from a patrician family in Hof, received the court as a knightly fief. In 1645 it was the Vorwerk of the von Feilitzsch family with the headquarters of the same name . Later owners were u. a. that of Pühel and that of Drechsel .
The late baroque building dates from the beginning of the 18th century. The building was acquired by the city of Hof in 1957 and is now used as a residential building. It has a two-storey hipped mansard roof with an attic and house structures. An imposing baroque tiled stove is an exhibit in the Bavarian Vogtland Museum . Originally, the building also had a forecourt, which had been built on with farm buildings since the Middle Ages. This area is designated as a ground monument. The mansion, isolated with its lands, became part of one of Hof's industrial parks , which was opened up from 1945, and the outbuildings were demolished.
