The Postal Palace hump indicates an Outbound castle in the town of Oberrot in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

Geographical location

The castle was about 2.5 km northwest of the town center of Oberrot on the lock hump , a northern spur with a roundish dome height between the valleys of Fichtenberger Red in the East and their almost opposite directions flowing in Ebersberg Sägmühle Maßlensbachs in the West. The next somewhat larger town in the municipality is Obermühle in the somewhat downward Rottal valley.

history

The lords of red, which existed before the 11th century and were dependent on the Counts of Comburg , had their ancestral seat in the castle on the castle hump in the 11th century . After 1268, the Lords of Rot joined the Limpurg taverns . After their castle had become unusable, they built a handsome house in the center of the village around 1290, which was burned down during the war between cities (1449-1450). Between 1367 and 1371, almost all of their property was bought by the Limpurg taverns. In 1542 the last male descendant of the Red noble family, Fritz von Rot, died.

Nothing is left of the former castle complex.
