history

Until 1507

That of the Stewards of Stetten built predecessor of Winkelhaken plant , which consisted of two stone houses, was first mentioned in the 1241st One house stood on the site of today's Liebenstein building and served as a reception building, the other in place of today's intermediate building between the Bonn building and the central building and served as a kitchen building. Between 1384 and 1387 it was expanded by Wilhelm and Wolf von Stetten.

Owned by Thumb von Neuburg (1507–1664)

The plant was acquired in 1507 by Konrad Thumb von Neuburg for 4,000 guilders from Hans Truchsess von Stetten. A year later he had the centerpiece of the palace, the Bonn'schen Bau, built. A stair tower, which still exists today, was built on the northern side of the building in 1516. In 1580 Hans Konrad Thumb II had a cellar built under the Bonn building. Four years later he added another castle building, the Liebenstein'schen Bau, at right angles to the Bonn building. In 1645 Johann Friedrich Thumb bequeathed half of the castle to the imperial quartermaster Johann Jakob Bonn and Philipp Konrad von Liebenstein, who were married to the two heir daughters. The names of the wing structures come from them.

Under the rule of Württemberg (1664-1830)

In 1664 and 1666 the Liebenstein and Bonn parts of the castle and the village came into the possession of the Dukes of Württemberg. To the wedding with Wilhelm Ludwig von Württemberg was Magdalena Sibylla of Hesse-Darmstadt 1673 Stetten as a dowry. The castle was then built by Duke Eberhard III. expanded to include the middle section. After Wilhelm Ludwig's death in 1677, Magdalena Sibylla used the castle as a widow's residence, where she lived from March to October. She spent the rest of the year in Kirchheim unter Teck , where the widow's residence in Württemberg was actually located. As early as 1679, she had a chapel built in the form of a transverse church with the inclusion of a choir on the southeast side in the Dürnitz des Bonn'schen building by master builder Matthias Weiß, who then rebuilt the St. Vitus Church in Stetten in 1698 . In 1692, the summer hall was built on the ground floor of the central building under the direction of Andreas Schmutzer with wall paintings by Paul Etschmann. In 1722, Duke Eberhard Ludwig had another building added for his mistress Wilhelmine von Grävenitz , who had lived in Stetten from 1712 until 1733, which is why it is called the Eberhardinischer Bau. This part of the castle was probably built by the court architect Donato Giuseppe Frisoni . After Eberhard Ludwig's death, the castle was owned by his widow Johanna Elisabeth , who had the winter hall added in 1745. Also in 1745 an intermediate building was built between the Bonn'schem and the central building, as these were previously only connected by a Söller . From 1810 until his death in 1830 the palace was the residence of Wilhelm Friedrich Philipp von Württemberg , brother of the first King Friedrich . In 1826 the lake that had previously surrounded the castle on two sides was filled in.

From 1830 until today

In 1831 a high school with boarding school was housed in the castle, in the course of which the Eberhardin building was increased by one floor in 1832. However, due to a lack of demand, the school was closed in 1852. From 1852 onwards, the camera and forestry office and a straw hat factory were briefly located in some rooms. In May 1864 the “sanatorium and nursing home for feeble-minded children”, which had previously been in Winterbach , was moved to the castle. In 1927 an extension was built southeast of the Bonn building. During the Second World War, however, the nursing home had to move out again: until 1943, the castle first served as accommodation for Bukowina Germans , later as a non-commissioned preschool for the Luftwaffe. From autumn 1943 the castle was an alternative hospital for the city of Stuttgart. After the World War, the castle was again the seat of the “sanatorium and nursing home for the feeble-minded and epileptic”, from which today's Diakonie facility emerged. 1960 to 1962 an extension was built on the courtyard side of the Eberhardinisches building, and the angle between the Eberhardinisches, Liebenstein'schem and central building was renewed.
