history
Franz von Lipperheide and his wife Frieda published fashion magazines in several languages and had residences in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Rome and Cairo. After a trip to Rome, Lipperheide also wanted to acquire the castle-like Matzen Castle, but the negotiations fell apart and the publisher only managed to acquire a piece of land near the desired property. The publisher rounded off this property through further acquisitions and commissioned Georg von Hauberrisser , the architect of the Munich town hall , with the planning and construction of a palace, or better yet, a small palace with 730 m² of living space. The castle has largely been preserved true to the original and is a listed building . The surrounding park was also designed as an opulent landscape garden and equipped with terraces, fountains, a grotto and a columned pergola.
Lipperheide Palace housed Franz von Defregger , Gerhart Hauptmann , Julius Lessing , Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach , Peter Rosegger and Hugo Wolf , to whom Frieda von Lipperheide dedicated his elf song from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night 's Dream .
Below Matzen Castle and near Neumatzen Castle is the Matzen estate, which was part of the Lipperheidesche possessions and is now run as a restaurant. Josef von Pfeiffersberg, who sold Matzen Castle to Fanny Schnorr von Carolsfeld in 1873, lived in the Matzen estate for ten years until he transferred it to Franz von Lipperheide in 1883. Lipperheide's widow sold it to Engelbert and Maria Hosp in 1913. Today the estate is owned by the Messner family.
