history

The facility on Schlössleinsbuck was originally built as a refuge in the 9th century . Presumably the castle on the Schlössleinsbuck was the seat of the Lords of Lentersheim , who emerged from a knight family who lived in Lentersheim before the year 1000. In 996 Hans von Lentersheim is mentioned, in 1012 Friedrich and Eleonore von Lentersheim, 1042 Siegemund von Lentersheim, 1080 Georg von Lentersheim, 1100 to 1170 Wilhelm von Lentersheim, around 1160 to 1220 Heinrich von Lentersheim, around 1190 to 1250 Conrad von und zu Lentersheim mentioned.

The lords of Lentersheim built the complex into a fortified knight's castle in the 11th or 12th century. The following can be read about the fall of the castle in the family register of the Lords of Lentersheim: When Conrad von Lentersheim returned from northern Italy from the campaigns of Emperor Frederick II in 1246, his castle was completely destroyed. He then started building a completely new castle in Neuenmuhr . In fact, in 1239 soldiers from the Hesselberg area also marched alongside the Staufer Emperor Friedrich II mentioned here in the fight against Pope Gregory IX. to Italy. The lords of Lentersheim lived in their castles in Alten- and Neuenmuhr, today's Muhr am See , until they died out at the beginning of the 19th century .

architecture

Thanks to modern technology, the floor plans of the once huge castle can be seen very well. Accordingly, the main castle was in the east of the complex and was protected from the west by an extensive outer castle . Deep trenches ran in an oval around the main castle, which was probably originally built as a tower hill castle (Motte). From the presumed main castle weak wall remains stand out in the form of a rectangle which opens slightly towards the east. What emerges as the north wall of the main castle measures an impressive 43 meters. The outer bailey seems to have been built at a later date. The castle complex measures around 273 meters from the eastern to the western moat.

Sparse remains of medieval castle complexes can be found on the Ehinger Berg and the Schlössleinsbuck.
