history
In 1251 the Limpurg taverns mentioned this castle stable in the description of the border points of the Limpurg Wildbann . The certificate from Staufer Konrad IV refers to the limits of the wild ban for Schenk Walter II from Limpurg . The Burgstall is considered the western border of the hunting district. In 1266 there was a dispute over ownership, in 1269 it was written down in greater detail. It was about the new tenth of the castle stable. In the row of witnesses, along with all fellow citizens of the entire parish, are the knight Gernod and the Welzheim mayor Wipert . The certificate also shows that a community of heirs owned the new tithing. In 1528 the Burgstall is mentioned in the winery book of the Württemberg rulership. Even Rudolph Friedrich von Moser suspected that it was more of a Roman fortification along the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes . It is possible that the castle site can be seen in one of the tower sites Wp 9/120 “Hofwiesen” or Wp 9/121 “Bürg” between the small fort Ebnisee and the small fort Rötelsee and was used until the Franconian era.
