The Jünger-Haus Wilflingen is the former forester's house , built in 1728 , called the Oberförsterei of the Stauffenberg Forest Administration in Wilflingen , a suburb of Langenenslingen in the Biberach district in Upper Swabia . The writer Ernst Jünger lived in the house from 1951 until his death in 1998 . In 1999 the building was converted into a museum and literary memorial to Ernst Jünger and his brother Friedrich Georg Jünger . An extensive interior and exterior renovation took place between 2009 and 2011 under the direction of the German Literature Archives Marbach , the Ernst Jünger Foundation and the Friends of the Brothers Ernst and Friedrich Georg Jünger eV.
history
In 1728, the Prince-Bishop of Constance and Augsburg, Johann Franz Schenk von Stauffenberg , ordered the construction of the baroque forester's house. The house has a partial basement with a ground floor and an upper floor. The building, the roof of which is hipped , is enclosed by a wall. The coat of arms of the Stauffenberg taverns is placed above the entrance door.
The museum, rented for twelve years by the current owner Franz Schenk Freiherr von Stauffenberg, is run under the auspices of the Ernst Jünger Foundation. This was launched in 1997 by the Kreissparkasse Biberach on the initiative of the Biberach district .
After the house was restored, the museum reopened in March 2011. Erwin Teufel gave the speech at the reopening of the house . Also in attendance were Arnold Stadler , Michael Klett (his longtime publisher) and Baron Franz von Stauffenberg, whose family is based in Wilflingen since 1469th
Memorial and museum
There are four rooms on the ground floor: the kitchen, dining room and two rooms that Jünger's wife Liselotte lived in. In the dining room he and his friend, the chemist Albert Hofmann , did experiments on himself with the derivative LSD, first produced on November 16, 1938 . This led to the use of the public prosecutor.
Upstairs is the writing desk, salon, studio, bedroom and bathroom. The writer worked on his correspondence in the writing office. At times he was helped by secretaries such as Armin Mohler , Albert von Schirnding , Heinz Ludwig Arnold and Georg Knapp. He met with visitors and friends in the salon. Here is his art history library and a television, with the help of which he was informed about what is happening in the world. In the studio is a desk with two work stations. He did entomological work at one desk, while the other was reserved for literary writing. Here he looked, among other things, at his steel helmet from the First World War and next to it at the steel helmet of a British officer.
The museum contains around 60,000 items in total. The visitor to the memorial feels reminded of a princely natural history cabinet. The house also contains a number of carpets and souvenirs that Jünger brought back from his travels.
