Schlössle (Weissbach)

The Schlössle is a manufacturer's villa built in 1922 on the Kocherufer in Weißbach in the Hohenlohe district in Baden-Württemberg .

Kurt von Kleefeld , the chamber president of Christian Kraft zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen , had the building built on the site of an old administration building of the salt works. When Kleefeld moved to Switzerland in 1932, the Hornschuch family of manufacturers, the owners of today's Konrad Hornschuch AG , took over the building . The building comprises 490 m² of living space on four floors in the main building and 730 m² in ancillary buildings. The family coat of arms is still above the entrance to this day. The building and the garden are under monument protection.

The Schlössle has belonged to the truck and real estate dealer Heinz Stengel since 1996. In 2006 the building hit the headlines because the tenant at the time was growing hemp on the three floors. The building is now part of the bankruptcy estate of CMI Internationaler Nutzfahrzeughandel and is in dire need of renovation.
