Anhausen Castle

The castle Anhausen is an Outbound hilltop castle in the district Anhausen the city of Schwäbisch Hall in Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

Geographical location

The Burgstall lies at 361.7  m above sea level. NN on the left upper slope edge of the Bühlertal , about 750 meters north-northwest of Anhausen. To the southeast towards the river, the terrain slopes down on a steep slope. The south side of the castle is reached from the west by the flat basin of the small Eichenäckerbach watercourse, which cuts more strongly into the terrain at the beginning of the steep slope. A cut was dug on the north side, which artificially created a less pronounced spur layer.

history

The castle was the ancestral seat of the local noble family of the Lords of Anhausen . In 1251 Beringer von Anhausen is mentioned in a document from the Comburg monastery , and in 1273 Conrad von Anhausen , abbot of the monastery mentioned.

description

In the area you can still see the leveling of the castle grounds, a 1–2 meter high, rocky elevation towards the slope edge and a small section of the wall in the southern area, which was restored or rebuilt in the second half of the 20th century. To the west, above the castle area, less than 50 meters away, at least today, there is a small dammed lake that is fed by the water mentioned. The terrain rises too clearly, especially to the northwest, over the next 150 meters by at least another 20 meters.
