Jonas-Schlössle, Götzis
The history of the Jonas-Schlössle in Götzis can only be traced in fragments. The dates on the east side of the Jonas-Schlössle were not attached until 1884.
In the Ems Chronicle of 1616, written by the tutor of the Counts of Ems Georg Schleh, the Jonas-Schlössle is not mentioned, although all other important buildings in Götzi are mentioned. Georg Schleh had access to his master's documents, which were already extensive at the time, so it is surprising that the person otherwise familiar with the area was not mentioned.
In the course of the renovation of the Jonas-Schlössle starting in 2001, wooden beams were examined using dendrochronology. The felling date of the oak trunks used for the construction is therefore between 1582 and 1584. The year 1584 seems to have been used as the start of construction.
As early as the 1970s, the sandstone column on the ground floor of the Jonas Castle was uncovered, which bears a coat of arms cartouche with the Jonas family crest.
The construction was probably started in 1584 by Leonhard Jonas II. Construction was likely to be interrupted soon after that. Leonhard Jonas II died around 1590. Construction only continued around 1595. With the design of the ballroom on the second floor with a magnificent wooden ceiling and wall paneling, the construction was probably completed around 50 years after the groundbreaking.
It is a unique example of a Renaissance mansion in the Lake Constance area. A wooden coffered ceiling from the 16th century is valuable in terms of art history.
It was extensively renovated between 2001 and 2004 and has since provided space for readings, chamber concerts, exhibitions, seminars, conferences and other events.
The square next to the Schlössle is the central event location in the market town of Götzis. The place was named after Dr. Jakob Jonas von Buch und Udelberg (born in Götzis in 1500, died in Abensberg in 1559). dr Jakob Jonas was ennobled in 1541 by Emperor Charles V of Regensburg. In Götzis, Junker Dr. Jakob Jonas built a few houses, improved roads and paths, and the church in St. Arbogast was renovated on his behalf.
The annual Junker Jonas market is held there in honor of the Junker.
Junker Dr. Jakob Jonas died in 1559 without biological descendants. His great wealth therefore fell into the possession of his brother and sister's children.
The Junker-Jonas-Platz goes back to Junker Dr. Jakob Jonas, the adjacent Schlössle was built by the Jonas family and is therefore (only) called Jonas-Schlössle.
