Ochsenhauser Pflegehof
The Ochsenhauser Pflegehof (also known as the Old Palace ) is a three-storey, castle-like nursing home in Tannheim in the Biberach district in Upper Swabia that was built between 1696 and 1698 during the reign of Franziskus Klesin by the Vorarlberg master builder Franz Beer von Au . The property, which is attached to the church of St. Martin , has been in the possession of the von Schaesberg family since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 . In 2016, among other things, the Graeflich von Schaesberg Forestry Office was housed in it.
History and structure
From the 12th century until the secularization of 1803, today's municipality of Tannheim was a territorial exclave and the official seat of the former imperial abbey of Ochsenhausen . During the term of office of Abbot Franziskus Klesin , the castle-like building was erected in the form of a three-story angle hook system.
The farmyard is conveniently located at the intersection of the roads to Biberach, Leutkirch , Memmingen and Ulm . Business between the monastery, neighboring territories and the subjects of the place was carried out in the care yard. Legal transactions, trading in agricultural products, collecting taxes such as the tithe and storing them in the Pleghof, as well as in the adjacent Tiberiushof , which was demolished in 2013, were other functions of the building.
The Pflegehof also had the function of a court seat for the monastery. On October 13, 1397, the Roman-German King Wenzel of Luxembourg granted the monastery Ochsenhausen imperial immediacy . With the construction of the Pflegehof, Tannheim received its own high and maleficent court because of its remoteness. The place of execution with the gallows was located southwest of the Haldenhof on a hill above the Iller .
Inside the building there are also guest rooms in which the abbot or guests of the monastery could spend the night. In 1702 Franz Beer von Au also built today's parish church of St. Martin right next to the Pflegehof. Because the later added church closes the existing Pleghof to the west, it was not easted , but northed.
In 1719 the mentally confused and deposed Ochsenhausen abbot Plazidus Kobolt moved into the nursing home; in the same year he fell from a stove two steps high and died.
Old castle family von Schaesberg
The Pflegehof Ochsenhausen is in the fifth generation in the possession of the von Schaesberg family, who also have other landed property and properties in and around Krickenbeck in the Rhineland . The building is inhabited by members of the family and is used by the Count's annual hunting parties and the Count's Forestry Office of Schaesberg. The approximately 10,000 m² deer garden , which is open to the public, is located above Ulmer Strasse in the east . At the north-eastern end of the Rehgarten is the Schaesberg family crypt designed by Ernst Haiger in 1913 , a children's playground and a wayside shrine with Saint Joseph.
