Schafhof (Freising)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheep farm in Freising

The Schafhof is a former functional agricultural building located on a hill near Freising , which is now used by the Upper Bavaria district as a European artist house.

history

The sheep farm of the agricultural model estate Weihenstephan was built in 1819/1820 on behalf of the Bavarian King Max I Joseph as a stable for the merino sheep herd in his private possession . In the area around the farm (“Schleimbuckel” and “Diebswinkel”) around 50 hectares of forest were cleared to preserve pastures and farmland. The building was designed to accommodate 500 sheep. The client was the agricultural scientist Max Schönleutner . Sheep breeding was ended in 1888 and young cattle were kept in combination with sheep until 1930. The sheep farm was managed until the 1960s.

After a long period of vacancy, the Schafhof was acquired and renovated by the Upper Bavaria district around 1990. From 1994 it was used as an agricultural museum on Bavaria's agriculture since 1800 . The museum was a branch of the Bavarian National Museum . It was closed in 2002 due to a lack of visitor interest. On July 10, 2005, the Schafhof was reopened as the “European artist house in Upper Bavaria”.

construction

The classicist head buildings with gable-sided driveways from around 1825 have been preserved from the functional agricultural building. The stable part in the middle with its distinctive plank lamella roof was replaced by a new building after 1990. The building is a listed building (No .: D-1-78-124-242)
