history

Wolfgang Hartmann sees Beringer von Gamburg and his father as the owners of Bronnbach Castle, as they owned substantial property around Bronnbach . Possibly it was a Ganerbeburg , as there is also documentary evidence that a certain Sigebot I./Sigebodo ( from Zimmer , Zimbre or Herren von Luden ) and Billung von Lindenfels , all founders of Bronnbach Monastery , owned shares in Bronnbach Castle.

It is assumed that vilula and castrum Burnebach are located in today's Schafhof ( Altenburnebach ) northeast of the Tauber winding . The Brunnenbach flowing past at an angle to the south and old ponds make a moated castle appear possible ( ⊙ ). At Ebidat , two other high points are seen as possible locations for the castle: the so-called Dickbuckel near the monastery as well as a nameless spur south of the monastery opposite the confluence of the Amorsbach in the Tauber, which here runs around the spur in a horseshoe shape .

The Cistercian Bronnbach Monastery, founded in 1151, emerged from the castle, which can no longer be precisely located. The castle is said to have been used by the monks of the monastery for a while.

The monastery complex was later expanded again after 1803 to become Bronnbach Castle . Nothing is left of the original castle.
