history

Oberherrlingen Castle

Originally as Burg Horningen, also spelled Burg Hörningen , built in the 11th or 12th century, the manor was initially an imperial fief . After it had been destroyed several times in the 13th and 14th centuries, Dietrich von Bernhausen expanded the complex into a three-storey Renaissance castle with two pointed gables in 1588 . A relief in the vestibule bears the following inscription for this new building: “ In the year after the birth of Christ in 1588, the 24th day of April, the noble and firm Dieterich von Bernhausen zu Herrlingen and Eckingen and his dear housewife Helena von Bernhausen, born von Rietheim, have this Herrlingen Castle started all over again. "

The Lords of Bernhausen then moved their headquarters from Klingenstein Castle there. Their rulership included the places Klingenstein and Herrlingen in the Blau- and Lautertal, from 1665 to 1803 they were imperial barons .

In 1839 Eugen von Maucler bought the complex and set up an important library at the castle.

Today there is an agricultural business at Schloss Oberherrlingen. You have a good view of the castle from the parking lot and the hiking trail, a tour is not possible. The Maria Hilf pilgrimage chapel , built in 1708, stands above the now restored complex .
