history

In the 16th century, due to business interests, the Lords of Liebenstein turned away from their ancestral home and turned to the Sauerbrunnenbad, a sulfur spa in Göppingen, and their properties in Jebenhausen . Therefore, around 1536, Hans von Liebenstein had a manor house built on the now defunct city wall near the fish gate, through which a street led in the direction of the Sauerbrunnenbad. The house was built as a half-timbered building with two massive storeys and a gable roof and is largely still in its original form today. Since its construction, the castle has been in the possession of the Lords of Liebenstein for almost 250 years, although it became a widow's seat after the construction of Liebenstein Castle in Jebenhausen. Around 1780 the castle was opened by the Göppingen doctor Dr. Oettinger bought. Due to its spacious garden on the north and east sides, the castle survived the Göppingen city fire in 1782 undamaged and is therefore the oldest residential building in the old town today. After several changes of ownership, the castle came to the innkeeper Georg Bantel in the middle of the 19th century, who opened a wine bar on the first floor of the building. Since the “Storchiana” carnival association was founded in the wine tavern in 1860, the building was given the name Storchen over time . Bantel bequeathed the castle to his son-in-law Karl Eugen Langenbein, whose family sold the building to the city of Göppingen in 1938. In 1939 the Franconian half-timbering, which had been whitewashed up until then, was exposed as part of a renovation of the castle. Although use of the building as a local museum had already been considered at the end of the 1930s, the municipal museum could not be opened until 1949 due to the Second World War . The building was renovated from August 2012 to spring 2014, with fire protection measures and the installation of more modern lighting technology being the main focus of the renovation.
