Dominion high-rise
The Herrschaft Hochhaus emerged in the High Middle Ages from a side line of the noble von Hürnheim family . This branch of the family was named after its ancestral home, the high-rise castle built around 1200 on what is now Hohenaltheim .
In 1236 Rudolf I von Hochhaus was named as a witness in a document . In 1347 the manor and castle were sold by Konrad II to the Counts of Oettingen-Oettingen and incorporated into the County of Oettingen . The lords of Hochhaus died out in the male line in 1353.
The high-rise rulership owned goods in Oberringingen , Unterringingen and Warnhofen .
