The Hohengehren hunting lodge formed the center of the former Hohengehren wildlife park .

The first game reserve in the Schurwald probably came from Duke Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg (1677–1733). Duke Carl Eugen and King Friedrich I expanded the wildlife park, which was finally surrounded by a two-meter high wall and whose entrances to the east and west were secured by guard houses.

The east of these guard houses, the so-called parking garage , has been preserved. It is located on the road between Baltmannsweiler and Weinstadt-Baach, right on the edge of the forest ( location ) and is privately owned as a residential building.

The hunting lodge was flanked by a dog kennel in the southwest and a garden in the northeast. There was a courtyard at the back of the castle. Two ponds were created in the front of the building, which like the Schlösslesbrunnen to the west of the old palace area are still preserved. The castle itself was sold in 1839, when King Wilhelm I (1781–1864) dissolved the wildlife park, for 6,049 guilders to the Altbach community , which had the building demolished and rebuilt in Altbach. ( Location ).

It still serves as the town hall there today. In the upper part of the building there is the meeting room of the municipal council and in the lower part there are actively used offices of the Altbach municipal administration.
