history
Between 1843 and 1846 the so-called Old Palace was planned and built by the architect Friedrich Bürklein in the neo-renaissance style for Lothar von Faber . Three wings enclose the square, four-story tower, the roof of which is provided with battlements. The von Faber-Castell family, who became rich through pencil production by their company Faber-Castell , had the New Palace built in 1903/1906 according to plans by Theodor von Kramer in the German Romanesque style. Both parts are connected by the richly structured, five-story tower.
Some of the representative rooms were created by the then up-and-coming architect and designer Bruno Paul . The old and the new palace were connected by the five-story tower through which the gateway leads.
The New Palace houses a spacious staircase, above which there is a stucco ceiling in Art Nouveau decor. The first floor used to be a living suite, which is divided into a lemon room, a monthly room and a Louis-seize room. The lemon room takes its name from the furniture in it, which was made of lemon wood, and the ceiling of the month room shows the signs of the zodiac . On the second floor there is a tapestry hall, the tapestries of which are unfortunately no longer there, a music or ballroom and a former dining room. The furniture in the two castles has been lost. Regardless of this, the castle is “an artistic specialty and, in its overall layout, a remarkable example of theHistoricism in Franconia ".
The Faber-Castell family lived in the castle until 1939, after which it was confiscated by the Wehrmacht. After the end of the Second World War , American occupation troops moved in. Journalists who observed the Nuremberg trials lived here until the early 1950s . AFN Nuremberg maintained its studios here until it moved to the Grand Hotel in January 1950. The Nuremberg Albrecht Dürer Society organized the exhibitions Ars phantastica and several positions + tendencies in the Dürer year 1971 . After decades of neglect, the facility has been used for events again since the 1980s. It was the location of the filmsHanni & Nanni and help, I've shrunk my teacher (exterior shots).
The Appelhof and Wolfgangshof estates are still owned by the Counts of Faber-Castell .
