history

Schönbrunn is mentioned for the first time around 800 as "Prunna". A castle already existed in the 13th century and since 1675 the seat of a Hofmark . In 1688, today's castle was built by Kaspar von Schmid . In 1720 Baron von Unertl added a west wing. In 1835 the castle was partially demolished.

The owners of the palace were the lords of Schönbrunn, the Ligsalz family (early 17th century), the Pfundmair family (1642), the barons of Schmid (from 1642 and 1776 to 1830), Freiherr von Unertl (from 1717) and the counts of Piosasque until 1776, the Kingdom of Bavaria (auctioned in 1830), Dr. Conrad Pregler (1830), the Traub family (1835), Rittmeister a. D. Heinrich Zeiß (1837), pastor Martin Forstmair von Buchbach (1846) and master mason Georg Schneller (1857).

In 1862, Countess Viktorine von Butler-Haimhausen acquired the Schönbrunn estate, which at the time was in dire need of renovation. From 1863 the castle was used as a home for the disabled and as a training center for young girls. It was called “Association Institute Schönbrunn”.

905 residents were relocated from the institution between 1940 and 1945. At least 546 residents were later killed as part of the Nazi murders . Afterwards, evacuated patients from the Munich hospitals and old people's homes were housed here.

Schönbrunn and its institution for the disabled was owned by the Congregation of the Servants of Divine Providence , now the Viktoria von Butler Foundation Schönbrunn and the Franziskuswerk Schönbrunn gGmbH affiliated to the foundation .
