The castle Brie , also Bry called, is a Outbound castle on the left side of the Neckar in the suburban area Brye of the Stuttgart district of Bad Cannstatt in Baden-Wuerttemberg .
The complex is documented around 1230 as a moated castle or a tower hill castle (Motte) protected by moats . It was in the area of today's Hallstrasse, in the section between Aachener Strasse and Brückenstrasse. In the vicinity of the castle there were probably houses in the 13th century, which formed the district of Brie, also spelled Brye . In the years 1247 to 1442 bailiffs von Brie are mentioned in documents, sometimes the spelling is also de Brige or von Bruge . Brie Castle was destroyed in 1287, like all Stuttgart castles, and the city wall of Stuttgart as early as 1286 by troops from Rudolf von Habsburg . At that time, however, the system did not go under, as later mentions show. In 1604, a remnant of the complex is still mentioned as a "small old house" that has long been in civil ownership.
In the early modern times the area was mostly grassland, the name Brie / Brye lived on as a field name and as a name for the Cannstatt houses outside the city walls to the left of the Neckar. From around 1830, today's Neckarvorstadt of Bad Cannstatt emerged from this early development. The old field name persists in Bryestrasse , a cross street off Aachener Strasse in the immediate vicinity of the abandoned castle.
The place name Brie has etymological parallels in France, Switzerland and Italy and goes back to the Celtic word * briga "hill, hill fortress".
