history
Wengwies is already listed in the first Ettaler Salbuch from 1335. The hamlet originally consisting of two farms (2 eighths of the monastery : Wastl, Hauser) was bought in 1879 by Count Hermann von Stainlein-Saalenstein. It was later bought by Fritz von Stetten, who came from an Augsburg patrician family, and had Wengwies Castle built in the historicist style in 1902 by the architects Jack & Wanner . After the First World War, Wengwies came to the textile entrepreneur Fritz Rechberg from Bad Hersfeld . His brother Arnold Rechberg, Sculptor and anti-Bolshevik publicist, lived temporarily in Wengwies. The castle is still owned by the Rechberg family today.
