history
1156 there was a first mention of a Lupold von Nordenberg. Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian, with whom the Nordenbergs had fallen out, instructed the citizens of Rothenburg in 1345 to pay the purchase price of 200 Hallers because he had bought the castle. It doesn't seem to have happened. Due to over-indebtedness, in 1383 the Lords of Nordenberg were forced to sell their ancestral castle and the surrounding towns to the citizens and councilors of the imperial city of Rothenburg for 7,000 guilders, which led to a conflict with the Nuremberg burgrave Friedrich von Nürnberg . In 1407 the castle was captured in the war of the burgrave against Rothenburg after three weeks of siege by the margraves of Brandenburg and destroyed on the orders of King Ruprecht in 1408.
