Eismannsberg Castle

The castle Eismannsberg is an Outbound medieval hilltop castle in the area Hedwig von Eyb road 13 to 15 in Eismannsberg , a modern suburb of Altdorf in Nuremberg County in Bavaria .

The castle was first mentioned in 1339 as the seat of the Ratz von "Eisenhartsberg", who appeared in the second half of the 13th century with the knights Wolfram and Friedrich Ratz in the wake of the noble free Konrad von Lupburg and maintained relationships with the former Reichsministerial von Thann. A Berthold Ratz counted next to Jörg von Mistelbeck the Elder. Ä. zu Lintach, presumably identical to the owner of the same name of the nearby manor Egensbach ( tower hill Egensbach ) to the participants in the battle of Hiltersried against the Hussites . The castle seat, which was preserved before the summer of 1504, was probably destroyed by Nuremberg troops in 1504–05 in the Landshut War of Succession .

On a view of the place on the map of the Young Palatinate by Christoph Vogel from the period shortly after 1600, the castle ruins can still be clearly seen next to the parish church of St. Andreas, which is said to have emerged from the former castle chapel .
