Ebersberg Castle (Kreuzlingen)

To be privately owned

Ebersberg Castle was formerly called Ober-Girsberg. It has been documented since the 16th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was owned by the Kunz family and therefore also called Kunzenhof. In 1816, the well-known surgeon Johann Nepomuk Sauter bought the house, which he converted into a stately villa. In 1848, the building burned down and was rebuilt. In 1867, the Konstanz textile manufacturer and banker Moritz Macaire (1815-1867) acquired the property, but died two months later. His heirs sold Kunzenhof to Count Eberhard von Zeppelin, the brother of airship designer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin. Eberhard von Zeppelin had the residential building converted into a castle and, in reference to his first name, gave it the name "Ebersberg". In 1928, another renovation took place. In the 1950s, the castle was bought and renovated by the German industrialist Friedrich Flick.
