Pleikershof Estate

The purple poppies bloom in May / June, then the excursion is particularly worthwhile.
There is also a 24-hour farm shop at the Pleikershof where you can buy potatoes, nuts, poppy seeds, spices and fresh eggs.

The Pleikershof probably existed before the archdiocese of Bamberg was founded. It was first mentioned in a document in 1334, when Friedrich von Lebsingen received "eight yokes Feldacker in Bleicksdorf" as a fief from the bishop of Würzburg. The place was first mentioned in 1436 as "Pleykernhoff", from which it can be concluded that the village has become a deserted farmstead. The modifier of the place name is the personal name Blīdgēr.[2]From the 17th century it has been handed down that "the courtyard house is still standing, but everything else is still deserted."[4]In 1730 the farm was handed over to a Michael Schadmann, according to the contract "with a horse, two oxen, two cows, a shovel, two harrows and a wedge". The farm burned down a few years later. During the reconstruction, the community and neighboring farmers supported the owner Georg Egerer with grain, bread and beer. Later, a Nuremberg manufacturer had a villa built.[4]Towards the end of the 18th century, Pleikershof consisted of one property. The High Court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Cadolzburg. The court had the Cadolzburg caste office as its landlord.[5]As part of the municipal edict, Pleikershof was assigned to the tax district of Steinbach, formed in 1808. It also belonged to the Ruralgemeinde Steinbach, which was founded in the same yearSource: Wikipedia

Nice homestead with farm shop. 😋👍 Not far from the property, the Franconian blue poppy blooms in a field in summer.
