History
The Schobeln House in Brassó is one of the few houses in the fortress that survived the fire of 1689 intact.
The building on Monastery Street, dating from the 16th century, was owned by wealthy Brassó patrician families: the Hermann, Seuler, Albrich, and Schobeln families. From 1654, the Honterus printing house was located in this building, or more precisely in the medieval watchtower behind the building. Hermann, the owner of the house, collected the surviving parts of Johannes Honterus's hand press, founded in 1539, replaced the missing equipment and restarted the printing press. In 1798, the house and the printing press became the property of Johann Georg von Schobeln, a councillor. The printing works itself was run by Friedrich August Herfurth; after his death, Johann Gött took over. The Gött printing house operated in the Schobeln house until 1893, when it moved. In December 1834, it received a licence from the Gubernium (Government of Transylvania) to print newspapers in German, Vlach and Hungarian. In 1849, at the request of General Bem József, new newspapers were published: the German Kronstädter Zeitung, the Hungarian Brassói Lap and the Vlach Espatriatul.
