The cooper were knights of the dukes of Teck , later the counts of Württemberg .

In 1377, Count Eberhard der Greiner lent the castle to Johann von Hochdorf. Since it is no longer mentioned in a document, it was probably destroyed before 1450.

There is no longer any trace of the associated medieval farming settlement of Tiefenbach (Diefenbach).
