The Rechbergsche Scheuer ( Rinderbacher Gasse No. 8a ) is a half-timbered house in the old town of Schwäbisch Gmünd below the King's Tower . It belonged to the Rechbergschen Haus, which was demolished in 1857 (formerly Rinderbacher Gasse 8 , also Rechberghaus or Haus Haug ). The name goes back to the Gmünd noble family Rechberg . Due to its set back location, it borders on Imhofstrasse .

History of the Rechberger Scheuer

The Rechbergsche Scheuer is a mighty half-timbered house from the early 16th century. It was probably built around 1510/1520 according to the information on the entablature and has a cellar with a barrel vault . The house was used in many ways as an outbuilding of the Rechberg house. In the 19th century, the Scheuer, now as part of a silver goods factory, was transformed into a residential house, office and factory building . When a modern factory and office building was built in the vicinity of the Scheuer in 1938, it was again used. The building was now used for the accounting and purchasing departments as well as the company's magazine and archive.

While there was no major investment from the 1950s / 1960s, silverware was still produced on the site until 1998. At the turn of the millennium, when the conversion of the so-called Deyhle area came up for discussion, the future of the Rechbergsche Scheuer became uncertain. In 2005 the CDU parliamentary group suggested that the demolition of the barn should be examined. The demolition of the area began in October 2013. In November 2013, the last large industrial chimney fell in the Gmünder city center.

After plans to build a nursing home instead of the Rechbergsche Scheuer, a solution to preserve the building was finally found, in which both city ​​councils and the city administration were interested. The conversion to a Hohenstaufen manufacture turned out to be impossible to finance. In 2016, the renovation and redesign of the barn into practice and living spaces began. The construction management of the renovation project, which will probably last until 2018, will be carried out by the Gmünder Münster architect Paul Philipp Waldenmaier.

History of the Rechberger House

The Rechbergsche Haus (Rinderbachergasse No. 8) was probably from the 15th century. The house was dated 1473 and, according to the coat of arms, was the property of Junker Jörg Flad. The patrician house was inhabited in the early 16th century by Leonhard Haug, who worked as a city veterinarian in Gmünd from 1520. A well-known figure in the city's history, as a wealthy citizen of the city was taken hostage in the Schmalkaldic War . It was he who had a two-story Renaissance garden house added to the three-story house with a crossed gable and mighty stone gate .

In 1556, the sons of Haug sold the house to Philipp von Wollmershausen zu Amlishagen . After his death, the property became a widow's residence . Osanna von Wollmershausen first used the house. In 1569 their daughter Johanna married Kaspar Bernhard I von Rechberg zu Donzdorf and received the property as a dowry . It remained now a widow's residence and residence for the unmarried daughters of the Rechbergers. At the beginning of the 16th century, the neighboring house Rinderbacher Gasse No. 10 was acquired, which now also belonged to the Rechberg property. This was a late Romanesque stone house from the beginning or middle of the 13th century. During this time, various foundations were made by the residents to the Gmünder churches and monasteries, such as the neighboring Gmünder Franciscan monastery or the Gmünder Spital . In 1673 the Rechbergers gave up the property after disputes with Reichstadt.

A period of frequent changes of ownership followed. The property belonged in the meantime to the Gmünder patrician families Stahl, Debler, Wingert, Storr von Ostrach. Then it belonged to the Kathrinenpflege . In 1800 the red tanner Jörg Eisele acquired the area, Stahl, Debler, Wingert, Storr von Ostrach. In 1807, the Gmünder silver goods manufacturer Dominikus Forster first bought house no. 10 and rebuilt most of it in the classicist style in 1832. By 1848 he had also acquired the remaining buildings in the area.

The medieval Rechbergsche Haus, whose weather vanes showed the Rechberg coat of arms and the year 1613, was demolished in 1857 for the construction of another factory building for the Deyhle silver goods factory .
