Creations at the Hexenschopf

The Hexenschopf is the second oldest building in the town of Löffingen (14th century) and is a listed building because of its structure. The building has been used from the beginning as a restaurant and small farm.

 

The imposing building of the present Hexenschopf itself has an impressive past.

 

Already in 1808 a "Beck und Bierwirt" zum Rothans lived here.

In 1853 "Zum Rothans" became the inn "Zum Museum".

It was Franz-Josef Gebert who, after a long stay in America, started the Hauses

In 1849 he also acquired the bar rights. In 1856 the estate came into his hands. Later under Josefa Geisinger the Gebert inn became the domicile of the witches.
