The Haslach Castle is an Outbound Höhenburg ( Guelph castle ) between Weingarten and Albisreute in the town of Ravensburg in the district of Ravensburg in Baden-Württemberg .

Geographical location

In earlier times there were castles on both sides of the Laura valley . On the east side, below Zundelbach, the Wildeneck Castle and on the west side, not far from the former, the Haslachburg on the "Walde Haslach". Today the Barbarossa Stone stands at its former location . The terrain is steeply sloping towards the river.

history

The Haslachburg is said to have been completely demolished in 1748 and used to build the parish church in Altdorf.

Today only the former wall can be guessed from the former castle complex.

Say

The Haslachburg is mentioned in several legends, among other things in the legend of the Haslachburg and the bell casting to Weingarten . The legendary figure Laura is said to have lived here as well. Central motifs of the Laurasage (love of a young knight for the daughter of a neighboring lord of the castle, fire of that castle, suicide of the noble lady in the valley near the stone, death of the young knight in a thunderstorm night) result in a different arrangement in the legend of "the wild knight" completely different story. The name of the neighboring castle is not mentioned, possibly the Haslachburg again.

Allegedly Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa von Hohenstaufen is said to have seen the light of day here. There are facts that could support this thesis: Barbarossa's mother Juditha was a Welfin. And in Martin Crucius "Swabian Chronicle" is written accordingly:

The emperor Friedrich Barbarossa was born either in Waiblingen or in the old Ravensburger Schloss Haslach.

It is also guaranteed that Barbarossa lived on November 13, 1187 with his son, Duke Konrad, at Haslachburg. This is contradicted by the fact that no contemporary sources attest to the birth on the Haslachburg and in particular that the castle was still in Guelph ownership at that time. Hans Ulrich Rudolf therefore considers this legendary tradition to be “realiter more than improbable”.
