from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wiesenhof was a place near Frankfurt am Main , south of the Hofgut Goldstein , today's location of the Frankfurt-Goldstein settlement . The place probably went under around 1787 and became a desert . Wiesenhof was at a height of 96 meters above sea ​​level .

Administrative district

Wiesenhof only existed for about 90 years and was about seven kilometers south of Goldstein. The district had belonged to the Electorate of Mainz and there to the Office Höchst and the Oberamt Höchst / Königstein since 1608 . From 1803 it was slammed into Nassau-Usingen .

Ownership

A contract between the city of Frankfurt and the Archbishop of Mainz in 1607 regulated the ownership structure for the area between the villages of Niederrad and Schwanheim . The archbishop had the area drained. In 1803 the Wiesenhof area came to the Principality of Nassau-Usingen with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss ; six years later it was sold to private property.
