... former riding stable building in Donaueschingen, Schwarzwald-Baar district in Baden-Württemberg.
- The entrance gate with the two horse heads and coat of arms is interesting...

For those interested:
- The Marstall building was formerly a state stud farm – horses for the entire principality were bred here.

- The first Marstall, however, was located on the other side of the palace (today's palace park).
- It was built by "Count Heinrich VIII von Fürstenberg" and expanded in 1729 by "Joseph Wilhelm Ernst von Fürstenberg-Stühlingen."
- His son, "Josef Wenzel von Fürstenberg-Stühlingen," finally had the Marstall relocated to the other side of the palace in 1779, and the palace park was built on the old site.
- Ultimately, from 1806 onward, the Marstall lost its significance as a state stud farm. The railway, and later the automobile, became the means of transportation for longer distances.
- From 1875 to 1879, the Marstall was rebuilt and adapted to new needs. suedkurier.de/region/schwarzwald/donaueschingen/Wenn-im-Marstall-der-Pferdeduft-weht;art372512,9810765
