The " Castrum Elisperch " north of Ensingen, mostly known today as Eselsburg , was first mentioned in a document on April 23, 1188 in a contract between Emperor Frederick I and King Alfonso VIII as a Hohenstaufen estate. After that the castle became the seat of the noble lords of Eselsberg . Your most famous lord of the castle was " Belreinus de Eselsberch ", the founder of the Rechentshofen monastery southeast of Hohenhaslach .
