Katholisches Pfarrhaus, Religious residence in Hambach an der Weinstraße, Germany.
The Catholic parish house is a stately late Baroque hipped-roof building at Freiheitsstraße 2 in the Hambach district of Neustadt an der Weinstraße, just west of the German Wine Route. Its keystone is dated 1759, and the building includes the so-called domkapitularische Zehntkeller.
Built between 1738 and 1750, the rectory also includes the so-called "domkapitularische Zehntkeller". From 1833 to 1852 it was the home of parish priest Franz Xaver Remling, who worked locally and earned renown as a historian of the Palatinate. In the 2000s an information board titled "Kath. Pfarrhaus mit Pfarrhof (alte Gedenktafel Remling)" was mounted on the building.
The building is known locally as the Kath. Pfarrhaus mit Pfarrhof, and an information board with that heading, including the old Remling memorial plaque, was mounted on it in the 2000s. The board gives a short account of the house's history for passers-by on the Freiheitsstraße.
The parish house stands at Freiheitsstraße 2 in the Hambach district, not in Neustadt's old town; the Deutsche Weinstraße runs directly east of it. It is an inhabited building, so visitors view the late Baroque facade and the information board from the street only.
The keystone of the late Baroque hipped-roof building bears the year 1759, although construction ran from 1738 to 1750. A barn belonging to the property, built in 1769, stood at the entrance on the Weinstraße side until it was demolished in 1977. An information board added in the 2000s, titled "Kath. Pfarrhaus mit Pfarrhof", outlines the building's history.
