history

Today's forester's house was already inhabited in the 18th century. At that time, around 1750, the house of the Fallmeister von Castell was moved here from the Trautberg . The case master was both the community's skinner and the local executioner. The executioner Johann Michael Fuchs lived in the property he had built between 1750 and 1756. However, after only six years he filed for bankruptcy and sold the property to Christoph Günther.

Günther from Württemberg was also a fall master and lived in the house with his wife Sabina Höbig from Rothenburg ob der Tauber until 1783. While he was living here, a new barn was also built on the site. Stephan Sättelmeier then came into possession of the house. Between 1794 and 1802, a certain executioner, Ritz, was in the trap department. The property was acquired in 1802 by the case master Johann Georg Hacker.

The first description of the fallkeeping comes from the time of the fall master Hacker. In addition to the main house and a small barn, there was a pigsty and a fruit parlor . A community square had been bought for the slaughtered cattle. Franz Anton Kerzinger probably inherited the property after his death and sat here between 1841 and 1869. He was married to Anna Martha, née Hacker. At that time, the house was part of the Castell dominion .

The case maintenance department remained in the hands of the Kerzinger family until 1876, before Barbara Kerzinger sold the property to the rulers. The rulers had the Fallmeisterhaus demolished in 1876 and a forester's house built instead . On November 2, 1877, the name was officially renamed by the royal Bavarian government. From then on the property was called the Forsthaus and was inhabited by the respective forester of the Casteller princes until 1982.

In 1911, a forest ranger's apartment was built right next to the actual forester's house. The princely castell forest ranger Karl Stolz lived here with his wife Christine. In 1915, a litter hall was also built, which was populated by changing residents. After 1945 the litter hall was rented out. This is what happened to the forester's house itself, which was given into the hands of the Emmaus community from 1982 onwards .
