The Schilteck ruins are the ruins of a spur castle north of the town of Schramberg in the Rottweil district in Baden-Württemberg .
Geographical location
The ruin is located at 520 m above sea level. NN at the valley exit in the direction of Schiltach in the Black Forest and was probably part of a line of defense to monitor the Schiltach valley , as the Klingenburg in Schiltach- Lehengericht and Schiltach Castle ; were also built by the Lords of Teck .
history
The castle was built by the dukes of Teck around the year 1200 . The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1225. The owner is Hug der Alte, Herr auf Schilteck.
The Lords of Schilteck owned numerous farms as feudal estates in Schramberg and the surrounding area, and in 1271/1381 they sold a large amount of real estate from the Rottweil , Schwenningen and Tuttlingen areas , where they also had properties.
The castle then changed hands several times. Among others, a Herter zu Dusslingen, von Wildenstein (in the Eschachtal), Count Rudolf von Hohenberg (Heuberg), the lords of Ow and Neuneck in the Glatt valley , as well as the Counts of Württemberg owned the castle.
In 1496 Schilteck Castle fell to the rule of Schramberg and Ludwig von Rechberg. The Rechbergers did not own the castle for long either; it had to be pledged again in the following generations. Due to the recurrent pledges, the castle slowly began to decline. When the castle was still being used as a quarry, the castle's fate was sealed.
Building description
The castle was originally a simple square defense system with a keep , two outer walls and a kennel . If ever a Palas was unknown and was probably never taken any further.
The keep in humpback blocks and the inner defensive wall have been preserved. The neck ditch from the mountain side is still clearly visible.
