The castle Dielheim is an Outbound Spur castle on the devil head in the municipality of Dielheim in the Rhine-Neckar region in Baden-Württemberg .

Around 1380 Conz Mönch von Rosenberg acquired half of the Dietesheim property from Prince-Bishop Adolf ( Prince-Bishopric of Speyer ) and built a castle on the Teufelskopf in a spur position to secure his local rule .

After 200 years, only the field name appeared from the remote small castle complex, which looked more like a fortified farm.
