Zellhof (Schöngeising)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zellhof

The Zellhof is an old courtyard on the right bank of the Amper opposite Schöngeising in the Upper Bavarian district of Fürstenfeldbruck .

Manor house in Zellhofstrasse 1

Today's Haufenhof includes:

  • the manor house, a two-storey plastered building with a steep pitched roof and double crane hatch on the gable, with construction date 1830, the core from the 18th century,
  • the stable, a two-wing, plastered gable roof, built around 1870,
  • the former cheese dairy, a narrow, ground-floor solid building with a gable roof, essentially from the 18th century, as well
  • the generator house, a boarded-up timber frame construction with a transmission dormer, from 1902.

The entire facility is a listed building.

St. Vitus Chapel and Cemetery

The Catholic Chapel of St. Vitus is also part of the ensemble. It is a Romanesque hall building with a retracted, just closing choir and roof turret from the 12th or 13th century, in the 17th / 18th century. Century expanded and baroque. Together with a small, walled cemetery, which was abandoned in 1923, with graves from the 18th to 20th centuries, this is also a listed building.

Zellhofweiher

The Zellhofweiher belongs to the Zellhofweiher , a well-grown old fish pond , which today serves as spawning water for several amphibian species , especially numerous common toads that spawn here in spring. In the winter months, the frozen pond is used for ice stock sport . The pond is fed by the Zellhofgraben and this in turn by the Amper .

To the south of the Zellhof there is a west-facing slope, the Zellhofhang . The combination of nutrient-poor soil and strong sunshine has resulted in a species-rich limestone lawn with sun rose , tufted bellflower , mountain hairline and other species that have become rare as a result of agricultural intensification and heavy building activity in the Fürstenfeldbruck district.

Zellhofeichen

South of the Zellhof are the Zellhofeichen , a large, approximately 300-year-old pair of oaks standing in a meadow, which was placed under protection as a natural monument in 1988 because of its character and age. The trunks each have a diameter of about 1.5 meters.

history

The Via Julia , the old Roman road from Iuvavum (Salzburg) to Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg), runs about 100 meters from Zellhof . There was also a Roman bridge over the Amper and the way station ad Ambra nearby . The complex itself possibly goes back to a Roman villa or the seat of a beneficiarius . Despite the proximity of Roman facilities, only scattered coin finds from this period came to light.

The first documentary mentions of the complex refer to the 9th century, when Bishop Arnold von Freising gave his vassal Jakob Landbertcella a farm with house and buildings, three hubs of arable land and 60 yoke of forest, meadows and more land between 876 and 883 . The name Landbertcella possibly goes back to Lantpert von Freising , a successor to Arnold.

In the 14th century, the estate was owned by the kitchen masters, a family of ministers from Munich , and in 1388 came into the possession of the Fürstenfeld monastery , where it remained until 1803. With the secularization of the church property, the Bavarian state became the owner of Zellhof, which ran a remont property here in the 19th century, i.e. breeding horses for military purposes. In 1920 the Zellhof came to the Wittelsbach compensation fund . The complex with 310 days of arable, meadow and pasture land then remained in the possession of the Wittelsbach family until 1970 , since then it has been privately owned by the Ludwig Weiß family from Fürstenfeldbruck . Over the years, the Weiß family renovated all buildings, including the chapel, during the renovation of which a previously hidden painted coffered ceiling came to light. The press reported on the carriage and sleigh collection maintained by Ludwig Weiß, which also includes a yellow “Post omnibus” built in 1860 for up to 10 passengers.
