Tradition and history since 1785
Since 1785, the Goldener Ochsen has been part of Hohenstaufen. With over 241 years of tradition, our house is one of the oldest establishments in the Goeppingen district.
Early on, the “Ochsen” served as an inn for travellers and coachmen who stopped here in Hohenstaufen.
The location at the foot of Mount Hohenstaufen still shapes the stay today – with good access to Goeppingen and the surrounding region.
The house was also mentioned in literature: Wilhelm Raabe named the Ochsen in his 1873 novel “Christoph Pechlin”.
