history

No information is known about the castle, which was built no later than the 13th century and only existed until the 16th century. The complex is probably related to the deserted Dellingen immediately to the north-west , which was mentioned in 1283, 1288 and again in 1360. In 1590 only the Ösch zu Thellingen is mentioned there, from which Heine concludes that the place and the castle had already disappeared at that time.

description

The castle site, which is only around 170 square meters in size, is located on a mountain spur protruding to the northeast at 680  m above sea level. NHN height, which is limited by the two source streams of the Lahbach. At the top of the spur there is a tower hill with a diameter of around 15 meters, this rises about one to two meters above the adjacent spur surface. A funnel pit measuring two meters deep and six meters in diameter has been preserved on the tower hill, in which one can probably assume the recently excavated site of a former cellar of a castle building. Apart from this pit, no further structural remains of former buildings have been preserved.

On the access side in the southwest, a neck ditch was laid in front of the tower hill . This trench , which stretches from southeast to northwest, is still 12 meters wide and up to 1.5 meters deep; its ends run out into the slope on both sides.
