During the Franconian War , the Swabian Federation's punitive expedition also stood in front of Berolzheim Castle . Jörg von Embs on Berolzheim was one of the helpers of the robber baron Hans Thomas von Absberg . Although the destruction of the castle is shown on the woodcut, the conflict was actually ended at short notice through previous negotiations, so that the castle was not burned down.
