Rauischholzhausen Castle

“Rauischholzhausen Castle was built between 1873 and 1878 by Ferdinand von Stumm.

The von Stumm ambassador belonged to the well-known and very wealthy von Stumm family of industrialists from the Saarland, who successfully ran an ironworks there. His father had died prematurely and his older brother took over the estate.

In 1872, Ferdinand von Stumm acquired an area of around 50 hectares in Holzhausen from Baron Rau von Holzhausen. The last member of the Rau von Holzhausen family living in Holzhausen died in 1872; his brother had emigrated to South America.

The Rau von Holzhausen family had received the land as a fief from Sophie of Brabant - a daughter of Elisabeth of Thuringia - in 1248. The coat of arms of the Rau von Holzhausen family can be seen to the right of the archway on the so-called Kinderbau.

Ferdinand von Stumm commissioned the university architect Schäfer and later the Berlin architects Mylius and Buntschli to build the palace. He also commissioned the famous garden architect Heinrich Siesmayer (Frankfurt Palmengarten, Bad Nauheim Kurpark) to create an English park. Today, there are still 300 different species of trees and shrubs in the 30-hectare park.

The palace was built in the German Historicism style. It was used for representation with numerous rooms decorated with great craftsmanship in styles such as Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Baroque and Neo-Rococo. Princes, aristocrats and high-ranking personalities were guests at the castle, including Emperor Friedrich, who elevated the Stumm family to the nobility in 1888.

Ferdinand v. Stumm married Pauline von Hofmann on September 28, 1878. The couple had 5 children; one child died at the age of one and was buried in the cemetery next to the church. On the occasion of the wedding, he donated a church to the village; later also the Protestant parish hall, a dairy and a retirement home.

He was a great collector. These antiques were listed and auctioned at the Christie auction house in London in 1936. Some pieces that are firmly associated with the building can still be seen today.

Von Stumm died in Locarno in 1925. His wife then moved to Murnau.

A son took over the castle and park and sold the property in 1936 to the National Socialist People's Welfare Organization (Nationalsozialistische Volksvorsorge - Erzieherinnenausbildung).

In 1945, the castle and park fell to the state of Hesse.

From 1949 to 2023, the castle was a conference and training center for Justus Liebig University Giessen. The Landesbetrieb für Bau und Immobilien Hessen (LBIH) has been the operator of Rauischholzhausen Castle since October 2023. Faber Management, as the tenant of the restaurant and hotel, has been hosting conferences, family celebrations and cultural events for over 20 years.”
