In 1932 it was possessed by the community, which it has been using as a town hall since then.
Castle of the barons of Gemmingen [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
Although built as a stately castle, there is very few sources about the early history of the building, so that its origin from the context of the history of ownership of the place, from technical investigation findings and from news and knowledge on the surrounding buildings must be opened up.
Reinhard von Gemmingen-Hornberg (1576–1635) acquired 1612 Neckarzimmers with the Hornberg Castle as the previous seat of the local rule. In the village there have probably always been a farm building belonging to the castle. In 1615 Reinhard von Gemmingen had a stately farm building built at the junction to the Burgweg, today’s Sink , which was extended in 1634 and in 1660/61 as Commercial basement, cellar is documented. According to the dendrochronological findings, the profit was then in 1657 New castle built as a visual expansion building with window gherders.
When exactly the von Gemmingen family moved to the valley from Hornberg Castle is unknown. In older literature, it is generally assumed that the family took their residence in the valley soon after the Hornberg Castle was purchased, but there are no structures that were considered as a manor. At most there was an administrator in the renam. It would be possible as the first manor in the valley to be a predecessor building of the New castle . However, Reinhard’s son Weiprecht von Gemmingen (1608–1688) still resident in the castle in the second half of the 17th century. The castle only seems to have been completely uninhabited from 1738.
Around 1750 that was New castle structurally redesigned. The facade received a regular frame instead of the previous window engines, and the entire area was plastered to pretend a massive building. If large parts of the building were previously reserved for economic purposes, the attic was also expanded around 1750 for residential purposes. The original crippled whale roof was rebuilt, which caused the high gable to the street. All previous institutions that might have served the administration of the goods were transferred to the ramming office. The older literature still assumes this construction phase around 1750 as the first construction of the castle, which was refuted by the dendrochronological findings of the approximately 100 years older timber and thermographic findings of the half -timbered structure.
In 1873 the castle was again extensively renovated and received its current appearance. The building received a new main portal that was not like the old to the courtyard, but to the garden created next to the building. The new portal side received a new facade with regular cinema and diaphragm above the portal zone. The entire facade was redesigned in the style of eclecticism. The ground floor was redesigned and received an approximately one meter level level. The rooms were given fishing bare parquet or floorboards with a crossing of the cross and stucco ceilings. A new staircase was drawn in behind the new entrance. The static problems caused by the profound installation were intercepted with cast iron supports and steel sub -trains. The upper floors were not changed in the renovation of 1875 and seem to have been relieved in the following period by the more intensive use of the ground floor.
Administrative seat of the community [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
A town hall has been occupied in Neckarzimmers since 1596. The first town hall was south of the church and had to give way to the expansion of the street from Gundelsheim to Neckarelz (today’s B 27) in 1857. As a replacement, a new town hall was built at Hauptstraße 35 from 1858, but in the early 20th century it was no longer able to cover the administration’s space requirements. [first]
Around 1930 the von Gemmingen family moved back to Hornberg Castle. On June 1, 1932, the Reichwasserstraße administration, which was then dealt with with the Neckar Canalization New castle And started conversion of the rooms into offices. The municipality of Neckarzimmer soon came into the possession of the castle for payment of a surcharge, while the old town hall and the old school building of the community went to the state. The municipality continued the renovation of the castle, including two large school halls and apartments for teachers being set up on the upper floors.
After the construction of a school building in the late 1950s, the students moved out of the New castle out of. The school halls were converted into further offices for the municipal administration with partitions. The apartments were preserved on the upper floors, but were structurally separated from the rest of the building, so that they could only be reached via the back entrance.
In 2000/01, the last comprehensive renovation was followed by a comprehensive static strengthening of the building as well as a preservation and alignment of the historical components.
The New castle is a two-story building with a massive base floor and a full-time half-timbered store and two gable floors. The building is covered by a gable roof. The main entrance was created in 1875 and is located on the Achtachsy northwestern east side, above it a dwarf house crowned by a flat round gable is formed. The back entrance to the southeastern side of the courtyard, which is reached via an inlable staircase, is the original main entrance to the building. The windows on the ground floor of the eaves and all windows on the southwestern gable show window roofs, flat on the ground floor, on the first floor as segmental arches, on the gable floors as a triangular gable. The gable itself closes with a segment arch and is crowned on the side by decorative elements.
