The Weierhof is part of the municipality of Bolanden in the Rhineland-Palatinate Donnersbergkreis .
location
The Weierhof is located two kilometers southeast of the core community in the immediate vicinity of the neighboring community of Marnheim , from which it is only separated by the federal motorway 63 .
history
Around 1120, the Weierhof belonged to the foundation of the nearby monastery Hane as an agricultural enterprise , which its founder, Werner I. von Bolanden , donated to the convent. At that time there was also a chapel supplied by the monastery. After the dissolution of the Haner Convent around 1545, the Weierhof came to secular owners.
In 1664, Elector Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz allowed the Mennonites expelled from Switzerland to resettle at the Weierhof.
Infrastructure
On site are the Mennonite Church Weierhof , next to the remains of an old Mennonite church, called Lehr , a Mennonite cemetery, the Mennonite research center and the Weierhof grammar school .
The former American housing estate with a total of 6 multi-family houses was extensively renovated from 1993 to 1995 as part of a conversion project and converted into condominiums (Weierhof residential park).
