history

On December 31, 1283, Volmar von Reichenberg exchanged Ramstein Castle near Ortenberg (Rothenburg ob der Tauber) from the Duke of Austria. On February 13, 1332, Count Hugo von Reichenberg and his brother sold half of Ramstein Castle to Count Ulrich von Württemberg. In 1357 he received Reichenberg Castle (also called Ramstein) and the village of Erlibach as an Austrian fief .

Erlbach was in the 17th / 18th Century a whole Rothenburg hamlet, within the Landheeg, an hour away from Rothenburg towards Leutershausen. He had 4 parish rights, was parish in Neusitz, gave the tithe in the Rothenburg women's monastery and was a castle estate , to which a lake belonged. From 1479 to 1661 it was owned by the Deffner family, from 1661 to 1669 it came to the Rothenburg Tax Office, from which Doctor Weinlein bought it. Next he came through purchase to the doctor Scheider and from that to the Roth Freiburgische mayor of Senbothen that him on 22 April 1726 a male Fideikommiss made for Senbothische family. The place had eight services and provided two carts.
