history
First mention
The place was first mentioned in 1436 when the Limpurg family bought a fief here ; the remaining goods belonged to the Lorch monastery . Altersberg emerged from a single farm, which in 1538 is also called "Zum Hag". Before 1580 this farm was divided into eight estates with buildings.
