history

Between 1860 and 1936 the house served as a Protestant schoolhouse and teachers' residence. From 1957 to 1959 it was a branch of the Schubart-Gymnasium Aalen and then served as the local library until 1967. From 1979 to 1989 it was used as a youth center, after which it was empty. The ground floor has been used as a meeting place since 1993, while the local history museum has been set up on the upper floor. The upper and attic floors have been used as a local museum since 1997. The entire Schillerhaus has been used as a museum since 2016. A special exhibition on the history of the Heimatverein Oberkochen e. V. established.

Naming

After Schillerstraße had been renamed Heinz-Küppenbender-Straße in the 1980s - a posthumous tribute to a leading Carl Zeiss personality - the name Schiller for Oberkochen was to be restored with the establishment of the local history museum . In 1993, the CDU applied to the local council to name the new local history museum Schillerhaus , while the SPD wanted to keep the previous name House of Encounter , the free voters were divided. Opponents of the new name argued that Oberkochen and Schiller had nothing to do with each other, since the poet never visited the place. The proponents rejected this and argued that the naming was all about paying tribute to the great Swabian poet. Finally, in a voting on April 19, 2001, the municipal council decided with eight votes in favor against six against with two abstentions to name the building Schillerhaus . In 1997 the Heimatverein set up a model of the Jena Schiller Church in room 7 of the Heimatmuseum , which at times served as a donation fund to support the restoration of the church in question. An original steel engraving by Schiller was also hung up to provide a subsequent reason for the name Schillerhaus .
