House Keltergasse 63 (Künzelsau)
The house at Keltergasse 63 in Künzelsau is a former parsonage and the home of Hermann Lenz .
history
The building was probably built in 1711 according to plans by the local Michael Sommer. A coat of arms and an inscription above the door commemorate Carl Ludwig Graf von Hohenlohe and Gleichen, Lord of Langenburg and Cranichfeld (1674–1756), who received Künzelsau in 1708 after the death of Johann Friedrich von Neuenstein and who ruled in Weikersheim from 1709 , where he redesigned the area around the castle there . Carl Ludwig is said to have "loved building very much and practiced this art exceptionally well" .
The house was inhabited by clergy until 1886 and then became private property. The father of the writer Hermann Lenz bought the building after he got a job in Künzelsau and lived there with his family until they moved to Stuttgart in 1923. Hermann Lenz, who spent the first years of his childhood in Künzelsau, describes the house and its surroundings primarily in his autobiographical novel Abandoned Rooms .
The Lenz family sold the house when the move was due. It is still used as a residential building. A memorial plaque next to the entrance provides information about the history of the building.
