history
The castle was built in the 11th century by Sigibot the Count of Tübingen and mentioned in 1563 during an expansion. Von Memminger recognizes in Manegold (* around 1034/43; † 1094) the founder of the Anhausen Monastery on the Brenz as a branch line of the Count Palatine of Tübingen who named themselves after Burg Ruck. In 1563 the castle was expanded into a residential palace, fell into disrepair after the Thirty Years War and demolished in 1751. Other owners were the Palatine ministerials and the Counts of Helfenstein. The castle was also the ancestral seat of the minstrel Heinrich von Rugge, who died in 1200 . Only small remains of the wall remain from the castle.
