The Castle Bear Mountain , including Bear Castle or women tooth called, is the ruin of a Spur castle in Königsfeld in the Black Forest in Schwarzwald-Baar in Baden-Wuerttemberg . The spur castle is around 718 meters above sea level on a spur of the Hutzelberg.
The castle was probably built at the end of the 11th century by the Lords of Burgberg (servants of the Lords of Falkenstein and von Zimmer) and was first mentioned in 1116. Other owners were the Lords of Geroldseck and the Counts of Württemberg . There are only small remains of the mighty tower made of roughly hewn blocks, as well as the neck ditch . Burgberg Castle , built around 1116, served as a prison for Bärenberg Castle.
