The castle site Grub is a Outbound , probably prehistoric Spur castle in the area of the district Bachfeld the city Schalkau in district Sonneberg in Thuringia .
The castle site is on a hill ( Gruber Höhe ) at 530 m above sea level. NN and is located immediately north of the Grub desert , not far from the historical border with the Heßberg lands in today's Hildburghausen district on the southern steep bank of the Itz , south of the Weitesfeld water, west of the Bachfeld community.
The system probably goes back to the noblemen Erffo and Christian, who were wealthy in Grub, in Bachfeld and on the Heidberg. Edelmann Christian lost all property in 929 due to a judgment of the regional court because he was found guilty of stealing two foals from mares of the Fulda monastery in Salzungen . Count Poppo , presumably III., Confiscated all the goods and transferred them to Abbot Hadamar . Fulda knights are said to have ravaged the castle in retaliation.
Apart from a clearly recognizable wall, no findings were found in the area.
