The Zasteler Stein Castle , also called the Adamshof Castle , is a largely abandoned hilltop castle near Oberried in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district in Baden-Württemberg .
Geographical location
The Burgstall is located in the rear section of the Zastlertal valley at 652 m above sea level. NN southeast of Adamshof at the Burgacker corridor. Immediately above the historic sawmill on the Zastlerbach and near the confluence of the Ödenbach rises to around 650 m above sea level. NN the densely wooded cliff of the castle hill.
history
Based on ceramic finds, the existence of Zasteler Stein Castle can be proven in the 12th century. Its founding seems possible as early as 1050 by the Bishop of Basel , who was significantly involved in mining activities in the Breisgau, especially in the Zastlertal (originally Münschwende) in the first half of the 11th century. An indication of this can be found in the castle name Zasteler Stein, which can be interpreted as the castle of the castellan or bailiff. In addition to preserving manorial functions, the facility presumably served to safeguard the mining activities that were considered important in the nearer region. From the 14th century at the latest, these rights were exercised by the Lords of Weiler (see Stegen-Weiler Castle ) and the Lords of Falkenstein . No information is available about the end of the castle at Adamshof.
description
The core of the system is a 6 meter high rock hill with a diameter of around 25 meters at its base. On its top there are remains of a 4 by 4 meter square wall made of quarry stone - possibly a former tower building. Its ground level access was on the north side, of which an approximately 60 centimeter high door wall made of non-local sandstone was preserved. Subsequently to low wall remains an approximately 4 by 6 meters large rectangular stem and a further smaller blank Vorwerks recognize. On the south side of the castle site, almost over the entire width of the castle hill, the roughly one meter high, strongly crumbled remains of a quarry stone wall can be seen. The access to the castle was presumably on the west side, where a formerly fortified path about two meters wide still leads up from the Ödenbach to the castle site.
