Stauden House Oberschönenfeld

Oberschönenfeld 4, 86459 Gessertshausen

The "Staudenhaus" vividly shows the living environment of the inhabitants of a mercenary estate.

The Staudenhaus originally stood in the nearby village of Döpshofen: in 1974 it was demolished there and moved to Oberschönenfeld. The smallholding is the last thatched house in the landscape Stauden and represents the type of Staudenhaus characteristic of the region, in which the roof was pulled down further on the north side than on the south side to protect against wind and weather. The simple building is a testimony to the former way of building in Swabian villages southwest of Augsburg.
