The stately castle’s former farmyard, with stables for cattle and horses, was built in the 18th century. “Marstall” was originally a term for the stables of a lord or count. Horses, carriages, carts and harnesses were all housed there. Here, in Immenstadt, it was mainly brewery horses that were stabled, as lordly horses were usually quartered in Vienna.
In addition, pigs were also fattened in the „Marstall“ stables. The leftovers and waste products from the brewery and the taverns were used for this purpose, which is why it was called the “Maststall” or “fattening stables”.
In 1804, the Marstall was first under Austrian and then a year later, Bavarian ownership. In 1807, Franz A. Höß bought the building at auction and in 1895, it was taken over by the Kaiser family. It wasn’t until 1990, when the count’s Marstall became municipal property, that it was renovated.
On the Bräuhausplatz, figures by the sculptor Andreas Teuchert memorialise the long brewing history of the former imperial residence.
