Hohenberg Castle
Hohenberg Castle is a castle-like country house in the Seeshaupt community in the Weilheim-Schongau district in Upper Bavaria .
history
Hohenberg was first documented in 1135 in connection with the fifteen years previously founded Augustinian Canons in Bernried mentioned.
In 1873 the owner of the Hohenberg estate, Konstantin Schägger, opened an inn in Hohenberg. In 1889 the inn and the chapel were sold to Karl Freiherrn von Podewils (1843-1893), who in 1890 had a hunting villa , known as Hohenberg Castle, built by the Munich construction firm Ziebland & Kollmus on the 693 meter high Buckelsberg to the west .
Already in 1897 the property went to the Swabian baron Wilhelm Schertlin von Burtenbach , in 1903 to Willibald Freiherrn von Beck-Peccoz from Hallertau . Hohenberg has been owned by the Thurn und Taxis family since 1931 . Prince Albert's youngest son Philipp Ernst Prince von Thurn und Taxis (1908–1964) acquired the forest property including the hunting lodge, which is still owned by the family today.
