History of the hotel
The Ochsen has a history spanning 241 years.
Our property was mentioned in records as early as 1785.
Early on, the "Ochsen" provided accommodation for travellers and coachmen who stopped here on their way through the Stauferland region.
A place with a long history – and probably older roots than the earliest documentary record suggests.
This seems plausible given the location of our property: a trade route once passed directly by the building. Even today, the historic path up to the ruins of Hohenstaufen Castle starts here.
The historical importance of the Ochsen as a stopping place in Hohenstaufen is also reflected in literature:
Wilhelm Raabe mentioned the house in 1873 in his novel "Christoph Pechlin" – a sign of the special role that the Ochsen plays in the history of Hohenstaufen.
A piece of technical history: the Ochsen in Göppingen-Hohenstaufen had one of the first telephone connections in the region.
At that time, our telephone number was simply "2". Later it became "262" – and today our telephone number still ends in 8062.
