The Postal Bürglein is an Outbound medieval hilltop castle on the vineyard (Burgstallberg) at 385  m above sea level. NHN about 300 meters northeast of Bürglein , a current district of Heilsbronn in the Ansbach district in Bavaria .

In 1268 the castle was sold to the Heilsbronn monastery along with other Sulzburg property , probably after Konrad von Bürglein, who also called himself von Sulzburg, died prematurely. His daughters Adelheid and Petrissa were married to Heinrich and Hiltpolt von Stein , sons of Heinrich II. Von Rothenburg (a branch line of Messrs. Giving ) and his wife Gertrud de Lapide (von Stein). A third daughter of Konrad, whose name has not been passed down, had an underage son in 1266, Arnold von Bürglein. This emerges from a legal battle that took place earlier this year. The background was that, after the Heilsbronn abbot Rudolf wanted to swap a property in Bertholdsdorf, which had previously been donated to the Heilsbronn monastery by the Nuremberg cupbearer Heinrich II. Von Rothenburg and his wife Gertrude. Thereupon Arnold von Bürglein's guardian, Konrad von Altdorf, successfully lodged an objection, which then obtained financial compensation. Soon after the sale, the castle is said to have been demolished and in 1337 the stones are said to have been used to build the Bonnhof moated castle .

Wall and moat remains are evidence of the former castle complex .
