Sinntalhof

Sinntalhof consists of two main buildings, the Old and New Sinntalhof, located along the southwestern edge of the Bavarian Rhoen mountains. The property displays typical rural farmstead characteristics with residential and agricultural structures.

State fountain administrator Moritz established the property as his retirement residence in 1821, before it later passed to the Putz family through marriage. This transition marked the beginning of a new chapter in the estate's development.

The property takes its name from the Sinn valley, derived from the stream that shapes the surrounding landscape. Visitors can observe how the buildings blend into the gentle hills of the Rhoen region.

The property sits in the quiet landscape of the Rhoen region and is best reached on foot or by car. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes, as the terrain is hilly and pathways may be uneven.

Charlotte Putz transferred the property to the Bruderhof community in 1955, a Christian group with international connections to Britain, the USA, and Paraguay. This transfer reveals the deep spiritual value the estate held for alternative communities.
