history

In 1271 one of the castles included half of the village of Auggen “in a manorial and jurisdiction relationship” with the Counts of Freiburg- Badenweiler as overlords and the Sermenzer family, a sideline of the Lords of Neuenfels , as servants . The second half belonged to the other castle with the margraves of Hachberg-Hachberg as overlords and the lords of Oughein as servants. The minstrel Brunwart von Augheim also comes from this noble family .

After the death of his father Konrad in 1271, Heinrich von Freiburg was forcibly expelled from the city of Neuchâtel by the citizens before paying homage , whereupon his brother Egino , Rudolf von Habsburg and the Sterner , Margrave Heinrich II of Baden-Hachberg and However, his sons, the Count of Neuchâtel , the Lords of Rötteln , the Bishop of Basel Peter Reich von Reichenstein and the Psitticher sided with the city, with the servants remaining loyal to their overlords. During the Neuchâtel War in 1272 and 1273, both Auggen castles and Gerneck Castle were destroyed by the Neuchâtel.

One of the two castles, probably the one in Schlösslegarten, was then rebuilt. In the middle of the 14th century the castle was fiefdom of the Lords of Staufen , in 1483 it came to the Lords of Neuenfels. In 1537 the von Reischach inherited the castle, which was then in a dilapidated condition in 1602.
