history
The exact founding time of Hohenrod Castle is not known, but it was between the late 11th and 12th centuries. A first indirect reference to the castle comes from April 12, 1197, when a Burkhard von Hohenrod was mentioned in a contract between Margrave Hermann V von Baden and the Allerheiligen monastery . The primal nobility did not sit in the climatically unfavorable castle for a long time; As early as the 13th century, the complex lost its importance when the Hohenroder moved its headquarters to the nearby Rodeck Castle in Kappelrodeck . The castle later came to the diocese of Strasbourg , and in 1336 Bishop Berthold von Buchegg gave it to the knight Albrecht von Röder, known as Bube, as a fief . In 1339 three brothers, sons of the late Klaus Röder, sold their part of the castle to Margrave Hermann IX. from Baden . He probably gave them back to the brothers as a fief. In 1432 Hohenrod Castle was a fiefdom of the mayor Burkhard von Neuenstein, and Wilhelm Röder named himself “von Hohenrod” for the last time in 1524. The castle was probably abandoned during the 16th century.
Treasure digs in the area of the ruins have been handed down from around 1815. In 1881 the Röder family bought the property back after it had previously belonged to different owners. In 1824 and 1899, the castle's shield wall was severely damaged by lightning strikes; its remains were then restored around 1900.
Around 1820 the name Brigittenschloss came up, which probably goes back to Saint Brigitta , the patroness of the Sasbacher church.
Remains of the shield wall of the former castle complex are still preserved.
