Building of the former brewery

The Ostettringen estate is part of the Upper Swabian community of Ettringen in the Unterallgäu district in Swabia .

geography

Ostettringen is located on the east side of the Wertach, while the rest of the place used to be on the west side. Today, in addition to the estate with the former brewery and distillery, the UPM Ettringen paper mill and an associated workers' settlement, which is also west of the Wertach without any significant infrastructure, belongs to Ostettringen . Since the construction of a beer cellar was not feasible due to the high groundwater due to the proximity of the river, a hill planted with chestnuts was raised next to the estate in 1838, in which a brewery cellar was set up, which was connected to the brewery by a pipe. A still-preserved brewery restaurant was set up on the hill.

history

Ostettringen was first mentioned in 1275 as "Istern Oetringen" and was probably owned by the Guelphs or by Volkmar von Kemnat. It consisted of two courtyards with bailiwicks at the Ettringer taverns. In 1391 a farm belonged to the Hurlach building district and was used by an Ostheimer family. In 1482 the farms, which were merged to form a manor, were owned by Heinrich Brecheisen from Kaufbeuren . Around 1549 the estate passed to Bartholomäus Welser via Hans von Rechberg and was from then on as a deserted, free noble estate . In 1553 the Welser received permission to build a mill with a sawmill.

In the 17th century Ostettringen was owned by the Bavarian dukes. In 1681, Duke Maximilian Philipp had a ducal brewery built with a purchase guarantee for wheat beer. Brown beer was brewed in neighboring Mattsies . The estate also served as a sheep farm and in 1708 comprised 150 Jauchert fields and 280 daily meadows. The brewery burned down at the beginning of the 18th century and was not rebuilt until 1778. Two major fires on October 14, 1841 and January 6, 1842 destroyed large parts of the property, and the reconstruction took 8 months. In 1870, the Pisterhof, located on the Amberg parish corridor, with 600 days of real estate, was added to the estate. In 1856, Count von Rechberg zu Donzdorf bought the Ostettringen estate. The distillery was shut down in 1914 and the brewing in 1915 when the tenant had to go to war. Brewing operations were not resumed afterwards due to the inadequate equipment. The beer cellar was used as a potato cellar.

While looking for a large, contiguous piece of land, the Deutsche Bundespost became aware of the estate with its contiguous lands in the 1960s and acquired almost 200 hectares of contiguous land in order to build the Wertachtal shortwave transmitter there. On April 1, 1976, the Rechbergers sold the entire remaining estate with all living and dead inventory including the fields that had already been ordered to the Buchlo-based entrepreneur Alexander Moksel , who used the estate as a representative meeting point. In 1994 the estate was sold to a Regensburg farm entrepreneur, whose family had the rest of the estate managed by an administrator. The buildings no longer needed for agriculture have been used since 1997 by the church aid organization "Aktion Hoffnung" to sort and recycle donated clothing.

Parts of the property's buildings are listed.

Former brewery restaurant, today Cafe Kellerberg

Cafe Kellerberg

The former brewery restaurant was renovated by the landowner in 1999 and 2000. The neglected house was restored to its original state with numerous arched windows, the barn wing was expanded into a spacious hall and a terrace was built in the south. The inn, modeled on an English country house, is now an irregularly open café and is used on weekends for weddings and events.

Former Schafstädel, today the Ettringen equestrian center

Schafstädel

In 1920 the brick buildings of the "Schafstädel" were erected on the road to Hiltenfingen in place of a long existing hut, which was inhabited by single shepherds of the estate. The old shepherd's hut was no longer needed because the barren soils, which were previously only usable as sheep pastures, became manageable as arable land with the emergence of artificial fertilizers and the shepherding became less. At first the new sheep barn was inhabited by a shepherd, and later by employees of the estate. In the 1990s the house was renovated and in 2000 the "Equestrian Center Ettringen" was built as a modern and well-equipped horse farm with a riding hall, which has also been used by the dressage rider Ulla Salzgeber since 2016 .
