The Friedberg is an Outbound hilltop castle on a spur of the hill on the southern outskirts of Friedberg , a district of Bad Saulgau in Baden-Wuerttemberg Sigmaringen district in Germany .
history
A castle "Vriedeberch" was first mentioned in 1247, when Count Mangold von Nellenburg issued a certificate in the castle "Vriedeberch". At that time the village was the central place of the county of Friedberg of the same name . Count Mangold sold the county in 1282 to King Rudolf von Habsburg for 1480 silver marks. Since Habsburg was in financial need, the county was mortgaged soon afterwards.
The castle, whose layout is unknown, has not existed since 1404. Today the Schlossberg terrace is the local fairground.
