Rotschlößle

The Rotschlößle (also Oberwies with Rotschelldorf Castle or Neubronnerschlößle ) is a patrician country estate in the Kempten district of Sankt Mang . The building addressed with Am Rotschlössle 9 was named after the formerly reddish facade color. Today the listed building contains the Sankt Mang district library .

history

The castle was first depicted on a cityscape from 1559. Besides the Weidachschlößle and the hooded lock, it is one of the few remaining "weekend houses" of wealthy families in the imperial city of Kempten. Initially it belonged to the mayor Josef König, later to the mayor Ulrich Dorn. In the 18th century it belonged to the Ulm patrician family Neubronner , after whom the castle was later named. In 1634 the Swedish Field Marshal Gustaf Horn lived there . A year later, the Kempten city ​​council had its seat there because of the plague epidemic . In 1850, apartments and a cheese dairy were built in the house . In 1927, the then community of St. Mang bought the castle and converted it into housing. Around 1930 there was a fountain with the Neubronner coat of arms in front of the building, which is now painted white. In 1972 the community was integrated into the city. The castle complex thus passed into the hands of the city of Kempten. In 1990, the renovation decided by the city council in 1986 was completed and the house opened as the district library of the orangery .
