history

A castle in the Adelmannsfelden settlement was first mentioned in 1113. During investigations on the castle walls, some still preserved Romanesque remains were found. In 1136, a noble family was first mentioned in Adelmannsfelden, however, due to the mention of the castle and the place name, which indicates a noble family, it must have had its seat there as early as the beginning of the 12th century.

During the interregnum, the place and the government got to the counts of Oettingen , however, was in 1361 by the Count Ludwig VIII. And Louis X both von Oettingen for 4000 pounds Heller sold to the monastery Ellwangen. As early as 1380, the castle and village were bought by the Limpurg taverns for 3,000, and they then probably served them as a hunting seat, as there was a wild forest in the area around Adelmannsfelden . In 1493 Adelmannsfelden was pledged to the Lords of Vohenstein, who kept this property until 1737. In 1610 the castle came to Otto von Vohenstein by dividing the inheritance, and in 1621 to his brother Johann Christoph.

In 1737 the male Vohenstein family died out, and the inheritance was divided between the Jungkenn, Validlingen , Nettelhorst , Bernerdin, Harling and Onz families. Friedrich Christian Arnold von Jungkenn had the palace, which in 1730 "was surrounded by moats (on three sides), a kennel and walls", rebuilt in 1761. As early as the end of the 18th century, some shares of Adelmannsfelden came to the Duchy of Württemberg , and as a result of the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss , Adelmannsfelden came completely to the new Kingdom of Württemberg . In the middle of the 19th century the castle was the seat of the district forester and the forestry office. In 1882 the castle was bought again by Count Adelmann, who still have their seat there today.
