The Castle Neu-Blumberg , also Räuberschlössle is called, the remains of a hilltop castle on the rocks in the district Nägele Göschweiler the city of Löffingen in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg .
history
The castle was first mentioned in 1392, when a family member of the Lords of Blumberg was named as the owner ("Eberhard von Blůmberg von der núwen Blůmberg"). In 1452 Jakob von Bern sold the facility, already known as the Burgstall, to Heinrich von Almshofen . In 1473 the Lords of Almshofen took over the castle as a fief from the Fürstenbergers . In 1525 Neu-Blumberg Castle was destroyed in the Peasants ' War, before it served as a shelter for questionable figures in the 17th century ( Thirty Years' War ), which is where the name Räuberschlössle comes from.
There are different opinions about the reasons for building the castle. The ancient historian Karl Siegfried Bader assumed that Neu-Blumberg Castle was built by the Lords of Blumberg after their loss of Hüfingen in 1383: “Since 1392, individual members of the knight family differ according to their castle seat, in that they differ partly from the new Blumberg, partly from call the old Blumberg . [...] What is certain, however, is that the founding of the castle is also related to the loss of Hüfingen. The Blumbergers apparently felt compelled to strengthen the western flank of their property with a new castle at the same time, as they built a small castle town in Blumberg itself around the old Sippenburg, which all family members shared. ”Others assume that the castle is new -Blumberg was built as a replacement for Stallegg Castle because the Blumbergers had to share the latter with other noble families.
Hardly any wall remains have survived from the castle complex , which is located on a porphyry rock in the Wutach Gorge .
location
Contrary to the established assumption that "Neu-Blumberg" means the facility on the Nägelefelsen, Karl Siegfried Bader suspected its location elsewhere: "Neublumberg Castle is presumably located south of Neuenburg an der Gauchach."
