history

Brandenburg is first handed down in 1239. A branch line of the Counts of Kirchberg was named after Brandenburg, verifiably around 1240 . After their extinction at the beginning of the 14th century, the castle and Regglisweiler came to the Habsburgs . Frederick the Fair pledged the Brandenburg lordship in 1313 to von Ellerbach , who sold them in 1446 with accessories (including the Dietenheim market and the village of Regglisweiler) to the Kraft family in Ulm as a so-called Schwabenlehen .

Kraft and Ehinger sold the entire fiefdom to von Rechberg in 1481 . After their extinction, the Fuggers were enfeoffed with it in 1539 . Since the early 18th century, a line of the Fugger von Dietenheim-Brandenburg that was extinct in 1820 called itself .

The castle stands on the site of the castle that was destroyed by the Ulmers during the war of cities, from which a moat has been preserved. Among the so-called Fugger were also free people settled. The feudal lordship came to Bavaria in 1805 and to the Kingdom of Württemberg through the border treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg in 1810 .
