history

Ebersberg Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1530, when the Constance long-distance trader Niclaus I. de Gall-Aigen acquired the estate, which was then called Ober-Girsberg. De Gall's father Bernhardin de Gall (or Gallo), who came from Como (Italy), had moved to Constance and acquired citizenship there in 1501. During the Reformation, Andrea de Gall sold the estate. He entered the service of the Landgrave of Hesse and is the ancestor of the Hessian von Gall family.

In the 17th and 18th centuries it was owned by a Kunz family, which is why it was also called the Kunzenhof . In 1798 a trot and a tenant house that still exists today were built next to the castle .

In 1816 the well-known surgeon Johann Nepomuk Sauter bought the property for 20,000 guilders , which he converted into a stately villa and for which he had a garden laid out. 1848, the building burned down and was in the style of the late Biedermeier rebuilt.

On July 9, 1867, the textile manufacturer and banker Moritz Macaire (1815–1867) from Constance bought the property for 82,000 Swiss francs , but died two months later. His heirs sold the Kunzenhof in 1869 to Eberhard Graf von Zeppelin , the brother of the airship designer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin . Eberhard von Zeppelin expanded the property, had the residential building expanded into a castle and, based on his first name, gave it the name Ebersberg .

After Zeppelin's death in 1906, the Ebersberg passed through different hands until it was acquired by Jacob von Salis from Graubünden in 1928. He had the castle renovated and made it the largest farm for poultry farming in the canton of Thurgau .

In 1960 the castle was bought as a vacation home by the German industrialist Friedrich Flick , who had it cored and refurbished according to plans by the architect Georg Felber . After Flick's death in 1972, the property first came into the possession of his son Friedrich Karl Flick . After his death in 2006, it was taken over by his daughter Elisabeth von Auersperg-Breunner, who sold it on in mid-November 2011.
