history
After a branch line of the Counts of Kirchberg died out at the beginning of the 14th century, the castle with Regglisweiler came to the Habsburgs . Frederick the Fair pledged the rulership of Brandenburg in 1313 to von Ellerbach , who sold it in 1446 with accessories from the Ulm family as a so-called Schwabenlehen .
Kraft and Ehinger sold the entire fiefdom to von Rechberg in 1481 . After their extinction, the Fuggers were enfeoffed with it in 1539 . Since the early 18th century, a line of the Fugger von Dietenheim-Brandenburg that was extinct in 1820 called itself .
The castle stands on the site of the castle that was destroyed by the Ulmers during the war of cities, from which a moat has been preserved.
The rule came to Bavaria in 1805 and to the Kingdom of Württemberg through the border treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg in 1810 .
