The castle Hedelfingen is a 14th century Outbound hilltop castle that on the Wangener height lay a ridge between the Neckar and Dörrenbach in the east of Stuttgart . The castle was located in a larger parcel about one kilometer northwest of the municipality of Hedelfingen . The parcel still bears the name "Burg" today and extends north to the district of Wangen .
"One believes that traces of the castle can still be seen in the area close to the NW at a height of 373.3 meters above sea level ". This corresponds to the area behind today's Burgbrünnele, which is at the eastern end of the Rennweg. Not far to the east of Burgbrünnele, the Burggrabenweg runs in a north-south direction. It lies on a moat that cuts the Wangen Heights and probably coincides with the old moat of the castle. Remnants of the wall and fire debris were found here in 1926 during excavation work.
From the castle Hedelfingen, which belonged to the oldest possession of the Counts of Württemberg , was ruled by their feudal people , the Lords of Bernhausen and others.
In Johann Daniel Georg von Memminger's description of the Canstatt Oberamt from 1832 it says:
- “Above the village you can still find traces of a handsome castle, but you neither know its name nor its former inhabitants. The square is still called 'on the castle', and it was under this name as early as 1366. In that year 'Irmelgart' awarded the 'Stöfflerin', nun of Weil (near Hedelfingen) and Bertold von Stöffeln's brother's daughter the vineyard 'uff der Burg, which is called the Stöffeler'. According to Sattler, the castle is said to date from pagan times, and boxes with rotten canvas were found in underground vaults. "
