history

At the beginning of the 12th century, Grunertshofen was the seat of a noble family. Through the marriage of Lucia Grunhartzhoverin with the Frankish nobleman Hans von Egloffstein zu Bärenfels, the place came to this family around 1400. After this line of the Egloffsteins died out, the Hofmark Grunertshofen came to Georg and Hans von Murach zu Guteneck. In 1563 Antonius Sytter, ducal Bavarian keeper of Starnberg, acquired the Hofmark. The succession came to Virgil Hofer von Urfarn , mining lord of Rattenberg and citizen in Munich, and from around 1600 the Munich merchant and patrician Franz Füll. Today's Hofmarks Palace was built in 1601. The Füll family owned Grunertshofen in male line until 1825 and in female line of succession ( Pfetten -Full) until 1882. On February 7, 1898 beneficiary Georg Heuberger, treasurer and advisor at the St. Vinzentius Association Conference St. Peter II from Munich bought the castle estate and subsequently set up a reform home that was opened on June 24, 1899. The building was expanded in 1910/11 and is now a country school home with a children's house, private (state-approved) primary and secondary school, social and Special educational day care centers and residential groups.
