History of the Goldener Ochsen in Hohenstaufen
Our traditional Hotel Gasthof Goldener Ochsen in Goeppingen-Hohenstaufen looks back on over 240 years of history and is one of the oldest establishments in the region.
The "Ochsen" was first documented in 1785 as an inn with a butchery and agriculture.
Back then, the property included not only its own well, cattle stables, and a barn, but also forests and fields that supplied the house with its own products.
Even then, slaughtering took place at the Ochsen, sausages were made, and sold directly on site. This was complemented by milk and homemade butter from our own cows, homemade bread, our own distillery producing spirits, and homemade cider pressed from the estate's orchards.
Early on, our house served as an important hostel: coachmen and travelers found food and lodging here.
Our Ochsen has also left its mark on literature: Famous writer Wilhelm Raabe mentioned the house in 1873 in his novel Christoph Pechlin – a sign of the special role the inn plays in the history of Goeppingen Hohenstaufen.
