Deutschherren Manor

The origins of the Deutschherrenhof lie in the 15th century, when Anthis Lock, a court seal bearer from Hangen-Wahlheim, owned large parts of Guntersblum. After Lock's death, his property passed to Hans von Flomborn, known as Partenheimer. After his demise in 1490, his widow Anna von Albig and later her brother Hans von Albig inherited the estate. Count Emich VIII of Leiningen enfeoffed Hans von Albig with the Partenheimer inheritance in 1494. In the early 16th century, Hans von Albig acquired the entire former Lock property. After his death, the estate fell to the Teutonic Order and was henceforth known as Deutschherrngut. It was leased multiple times, including to Philipp Baber (1554), Gelbert Hunger (1560), and Philipp Ludwig Steud (1624). Philipp Friedrich von Wachenheim bought it in 1626. After the Thirty Years' War, ownership changed frequently, including Matthes Soltz and Anton Christrichard. In 1697, his son Johann Wilhelm Reichert took over the property. In 1712, Johann Adam Henkel acquired the estate.
