Altenstein Castle

The altenstein castle is an Outbound hilltop castle in Angenbachtal on a 750  m above sea level. NN high rock spur north of the Altenstein district of the municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg in the Lörrach district in Baden-Württemberg . According to another hypothesis, the castle stood on the Henschenberg above Zell im Wiesental .

history

The castle was built in the 13th century. It was the seat of the family named after the von Stein family . Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex. After Heinrich III. von Stein had died without male descendants, the castle and rule of the heir daughter Margareta von Stein, who was married to Rudolf I von Schönau, passed to the Lords of Schönau .

The Lords of Schönau moved into the seat of the Wehr estate that they had acquired . Nothing is known of the destruction of Altenstein Castle in a war. One must therefore assume that the castle was no longer inhabited, eventually fell into disrepair and, possibly misused as a quarry, was removed. In an arbitration award from 1406 regarding the high level of jurisdiction over Hausen im Wiesental , Stein Castle, to which the jurisdiction of Zell was bound, is still referred to as a "festival".
