Scheuerberg Castle
A chapel on the Scheuerberg was first mentioned in 1264 in connection with a foundation by Engelhard IV and Engelhard V. von Weinsberg. In the same document that regulates the rights of the pastor on the Scheuerberg, a castle on the mountain was mentioned, the start of construction of which is dated between 1218 and 1250 - today called Burg Scheuerberg . On the Neckar facing west side of the mountain, the main castle is said to have found to the east of it bailey . The builders are the Lords von Weinsberg , who, as treasurers of the Staufer, were enfeoffed with the Scheuerberg rule . Engelhard VII von Weinsberg sold the castle on May 2, 1335 to Archbishop Balduin von Trier , who at that time was also the administrator of the Archdiocese of Mainz and appointed an Electorate of Mainz bailiff on the Scheuerberg . On May 7, 1484, the Scheuerberg came under German master Reinhard von Neipperg to the German Order . On April 19, 1525, the castle was burned down during the Peasants' War .
After the Peasants' War, the castle on the Scheuerberg was not repaired. The chapel is said to have been in good condition as services were still taking place there in 1529. The keep and extremely massive walls of the castle were initially still there. Under German master Walther von Cronberg , who also had the also destroyed Heuchlingen Castle restored after 1530 , there were plans in the 16th century to rebuild the castle on the Scheuerberg, but these were rejected. In the decades and centuries that followed, the castle stones were used to build several large buildings, including a. the Amorbacher Hof, the Neckarsulm parish church and 1655 the Neckarsulm Capuchin monastery. In 1705, a bailiff Stipplin ordered the demolition of the then still standing keep and the leveling of the area for use as a vineyard, but in 1785 stones from the ruins were removed to build vineyard walls.
Until the land consolidation between 1970 and 1974, numerous stones with stone carving marks from the Romanesque period could be found in the vineyards on the Scheuerberg. In 1974, a huge stone wall of the former castle complex was uncovered, the dimensions of which have led historians to say that the castle on the Scheuerberg was possibly the most powerful of the numerous medieval castles in the area around Heilbronn .
