history
Around 1200 Rudolf I von Üsenberg probably built the first oldest area of the Kirnburg. 1219 the castle was mentioned as "castro nostro Kvrinberc" in the 13th century, the Lords of Üsenberg built the outer bailey from. In 1352 the castle and the associated rule went to Heinrich IV. Von Hachberg , who temporarily resided at the castle. Later, the castle and the rule of Kirnberg were pledged to regional noble families , such as the influential Freiburg noble family the Schnewlin-Landeck , the knights Martin Malterer and Konrad von Weinsberg and, from 1424, the bishops of Strasbourg , who expanded the castle one last time and according to the time fortified.
In 1372 the rule of Kürnberg fell to the Dukes Albrecht and Leopold of Austria when the Landgraviate of Breisgau was taken over . It remained with the Habsburgs and was awarded as a fief until the end of Upper Austria .
In 1515, a few years before the outbreak of the Peasant War , Wolf von Hürnheim zum Tuttenstein acquired the Kirnburg as a fief. After the castle was in poor condition at the beginning of the Thirty Years War , it was quickly conquered and razed by the troops of Duke Bernhard von Weimar, who passed through . From 1682 to 1967 the castle ruins were fiefdoms of the Counts of Kageneck and then came into the possession of the state of Baden-Württemberg.
In 1938 the ruin was uncovered and since 1978 security and restoration measures have been carried out to preserve it as a historical monument .
