Villa Sommerach
The so-called Villa Sommerach is a hotel building in the Lower Franconian community of Sommerach on the Wine Island . It stands on the edge of the old town on Nordheimer Strasse. Before the last renovation, the building was called "Hehns-Haus".
history
The land on which the house stands was pledged to the Münsterschwarzach monastery in 1295 by the Counts of Castell . At that time it was still outside the walls of the village. The Münsterschwarzacher abbots may set up their first administrative building there. This is also proven by the remains of buildings that were built in the 15th century. In 1653 there were disputes over the site. The parties called in the legal advisor Johannes Fegelein as arbitrator, who quickly leased the building himself in 1668.
He transformed the building into the Communitas Fegelein and in 1679 bought the house for his family. The next resident was the master butcher Johannes Georg Fegelein, who was born on October 31, 1673. His son Michael Fegelein had the building redesigned in Baroque style around 1750 . He was followed by his niece Eva Barbara Fegelein, who married Andreas Zänglein in 1773. In the following century the building had to be redesigned again: a fire made the renovation necessary.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the mayor of Sommerach, Kaspar Hehn, moved into the house. The Hehn family lived in the building until the 1970s, before the winegrowers' cooperative bought the building. In 1991 the house was acquired by Marianne and Holger Denecke, extensively renovated and transformed into a hotel, which has been owned by the Max Müller I von Volkach winery since 2015. The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation classifies the house as a monument under the number D-6-75-169-42.
architecture
The villa is a two-storey two-wing building with an extension with a gable roof . The main building has a half-hipped roof on one side. All windows have drilled frames. The current shape was created in the 18th century. Some rooms have stucco ceilings. Several medallions with leaf ornamentation or biblical representations such as the prophet Elias (in the so-called prince's room) were uncovered during the last renovation.
A barn that adjoins the building dates from the 16th century. It has a stepped gable and has been used as a stable several times over the past centuries.
