The Kürnenburg even know castle or fortress in Hainbach called, is a Outbound high medieval lowland castle in the valley of the Hain Bach on the east bank, north of the bridge at Know castle , a modern district of Esslingen in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg .

The town of Kennenburg owes its existence to the only castle in the Hainbachtal in Esslingen, which was probably founded in the High Middle Ages. The castle, which has disappeared today, was partially surrounded by water, which suggests a moated castle .

A relationship between the castle and the margraves of Burgau is assumed, since the residents were probably their feudal people in 1280 . The other owners remained unknown until 1360, when Simon von Kirchheim, mayor in Esslingen, sold the castle with all its accessories to Esslingen citizens. When the castle was sold to Hermann Hipp in 1452, the formerly known as the '' Bergfried im Hainbach '' and now dilapidated complex was called the '' burgstal '' and was finally demolished in the 16th century.
