Hohenstadt is a residential area in the Sulzdorf district of the district town of Schwäbisch Hall in the district of the same name in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg . In the regional dialect the place is called Hôâschdâ [ ˈhɔːəˌʃdə ].
geography
Hohenstadt is a hamlet with less than a dozen house numbers and a few farm buildings on the Haller level . It is located about nine kilometers east of the town center of Hall and two kilometers northeast of the center of Sulzdorf on the left and western shoulder of the steep Bühlertal , right in front of the spur of the Fichtenberg , on which Hohenstein Castle once stood above the Neunbronn mill in the valley River loop stood. The hamlet is framed on the east side by a soft image of tree-lined pastures on the still flat valley slope, below which forest begins on the steep slope.
Two little roads with little traffic from Sulzdorf and from the closer Jagstrot in the north-west open up the place, from which a steep, small cul-de-sac leads to Neunbronn.
history
The noble family von Hohenstadt (Hohenstein) is documented in the 13th to the 15th century. The coat of arms is documented. Gravestones are in the Comburg and also in Murrhardt.
Hohenstatt Castle / Hohenstein Castle
A Hohenstein castle was located "on the edge of the valley, a few hundred paces east" from the hamlet. A large hill with three cellar pits remained from the castle. The moat was on two sides (southwest and northwest). On the other two sides (southeast and northeast) there was a steep slope, which made an artificial moat superfluous. It was a hillside castle and was on a mountain spur . It was built over a steep rock 70 meters above the Bühler . The castle complex protruded into a loop of the Bühler. From the castle you had a good view of the Hohenstatt Castle opposite. The first mention of the noble owners takes place in 1334 in a document in which several brothers confirm the right to open the House of Hohenstein to the city of Hall. In 1347 Konrad von Hohenstein wanted to buy back the pledged castle from Kraft von Hohenlohe. Walter von Hohenstein sold the family castle again to Kraft von Hohenlohe. Rüdiger von Hohenstein sold them again. The castle was destroyed by Ludwig von Bayern in 1461 as part of the Margrave War; like the castles Hohenstatt and Scheffau. The Hohenstatt Castle, like the Anhausen Castle in the south, was founded by the von Hohenstein family and was a satellite castle to secure the east side of the Bühlertal. The chronicles of Schwäbisch Hall describe the lords of the castle on the castle ruins as robbers.
