The Postal Schlechtenkulm is an Outbound hilltop castle on the little Kulm in Neustadt am Kulm in Neustadt an der Waldnaab in Bavaria .

Schlechtenkulm is another name for the Kleiner Kulm in contrast to the Rauhen Kulm . Only traces of the terrain are visible from the Schlechtenkulm castle stable.

There are no reliable sources about the origin of the high medieval castle . From the foundation deed of the Benedictine monastery Michelfeld bei Auerbach from the year 1119 it is clear that the Leutenberg Bucco de Culmen had a residence on one of the two Kulme. He would be the first scientifically proven lord of the castle. However, it is unclear whether the Rauhe Kulm or the Kleine Kulm is meant. It is conceivable but unlikely that it was a building in the village of Kulmain . During excavations, shards, arrowheads, crosses and coins from this period were brought to light.

When Neustadt was set on fire in 1462 during the Prince's War, its citizens fled to the castle on the Kleiner Kulm. Schlechtenkulm Castle remained intact at the time.

During the Second Margrave War , the castle and Rauhenkulm Castle on the Rauhen Kulm were destroyed in 1554 under Margrave Albrecht II Alcibiades . Before the destruction, both castles were besieged for about a year by troops from the imperial city of Nuremberg, Bamberg, Würzburg and Bavaria under the leadership of the electoral district judge Hans Umseher von Waldeck, and the residents were starved to death. Later, part of the stones of the medieval ramparts of both castle complexes were used to reinforce the city walls of the city of Neustadt.
