Wormser Hof, Medieval administrative building in Bad Wimpfen, Germany.
Wormser Hof is a medieval administrative building in Bad Wimpfen organized around a courtyard with seven connected structures forming an irregular three-sided layout. The complex displays architectural features from multiple periods as it faces toward the town church.
The building was constructed around 1200 as a residence for officials of the Worms bishopric. In the 16th century it underwent significant expansion under Bishop Bartholomäus Schick.
The name refers to its connection with the Worms bishopric, and today local associations gather here for meetings. The storage areas reveal how intensively the property was once managed.
The building sits near the Imperial Palace of Wimpfen and is protected as a heritage monument. Visitors should explore the surrounding area on foot to fully appreciate its medieval layout and positioning.
King Gustav Adolf granted the building to the city as a gift in 1632 during the Thirty Years War, but it returned to the Worms bishopric just two years later. This brief transfer reveals the shifting loyalties of the wartime period.
