Rodensteiner Hof + Park - Bensheim 🚴‍♂️

The Rodensteiner Hof is a listed cultural monument in Bensheim on the Bergstrasse. It is an old noble estate. The Rodensteiner Hof is located outside the former city walls (Auerbach Gate). It is believed that a residential building stood on this site as early as 1570. This house came into the possession of the Lords of Rodenstein, who came from Fränkisch-Crumbach. The noble family died out in 1671, and the building came into the possession of the von Haxthausen family. They then sold it in 1698 to Privy Councilor Johann Martin Ludwig von Schleiffras of Mainz. Just seven years later (1705), he sold it to the Darmstadt Lieutenant General Johann Rudolf von Pretlack. Von Pretlack remained in Bensheim until 1733. The Rodensteiner Hof subsequently passed into the possession of the Palatinate Privy Councilor, Court Chamberlain, and Chief Forestry Director Franz Caspar von Überbruck und Rodenstein. The von Überbruck family came to the Bergstrasse from Lorraine. They Germanized their French name, d'Oultepont. They received permission from the Emperor to use the title "Edle von Rodenstein." Nothing is known about the estate's size and appearance at that time. It is assumed that a seven-axis main building was built on what is now Darmstädter Straße by 1739 under von Pretlack or by von Überbruck. It is assumed that older building materials were used. Überbruck's son, Johann Heinrich Adam, probably commissioned further expansion to the south and east starting in 1742. From 1984 to 1989, the entire building complex remained unused. In September 1990, a private investor purchased the Rodensteiner Hof and thoroughly renovated it by 1992. Today, the Rodensteiner Hof houses offices, a café, and apartments.🚴‍♂️
