A Count Wigmann von Seburc is attested around 1050 with village and castle , in 1250 a Bertholdus des Sebure was mentioned. In 1556, Duke Christoph von Württemberg acquired Seeburc from Hans Ludwig von Speth.

Attractions
Tufa and buildings
Kalktuffbarren Alt-Seeburg is on Kalktuffbarren whose lime were chemically precipitated from the Ermswasser over several centuries and sedimented. The up to 34 m thick layers of tufa limestone were mined from around 1830 in many abandoned quarries as a sought-after, easy-to-work building material. Numerous bridges, walls etc. in the village are made of this stone.
Former rectory The former rectory was restored in 1616 by the famous master builder Heinrich Schickhardt . The large tufa wall below is the most impressive lesson why so many quarries were built. The current building, however, dates from 1836. It is an example of the typical tufa architecture of the area.
Former town hall The town hall, which also served as a school building in the past, is also made of tuff blocks. It dates from 1815.
Schickhardt tunnel The same great master builder Schickhardt, by building a 467 m long tunnel, guided the Fischbach coming from the depths of the Swabian Alb 15 m under the tufa layers of Seeburg so that the bottomless lake dammed up by the tufa bars can be completely emptied at any time (for the purpose of fishing) could be.
Duke Johann Friedrich von Württemberg commissioned the builder in 1616. With the tunnel completed in 1620 (!) The lake was emptied for 201 years. The lake is no longer dammed, the damming traps were dismantled, but the tunnel is still intact today.
The tunnel flows into the Erms below the village. The tunnel can be visited every two years (even years) on the day of the open monument as part of a guided tour with a limited number of visitors. The local archive provides information about its builder.
Johanneskirche
The Johanneskirche was first mentioned on June 11, 770 in the Lorsch Codex Laureshamensis in connection with a donation from Waldo to Abbot Gundeland. The secco paintings in the apse date from around 1280. The church, like its organ, is a listed building. The cone chest organ from 1853 by Johann Viktor Gruol the Younger was restored in 1980. The church forms the center of the cemetery, where some old gravestones can be found.
Uhenfels Castle
Court Marshal Ernst Wilhelm Friedrich von Hayn had Uhenfels Castle built in 1872 after his father had already acquired the Uhenhof. From 1899 the parents of Siegmund G. Warburg , Gabriel Warburg (1871–1923) and Lucie Lea Kaulla (1866–1955) lived there. The lively social life broke off with their expulsion in 1938. In 1938 the estate was "aryanized" . In 1941 the castle was sold to Franz Fuchs and returned to its owners, the Warburg family, in 1958. In the same year it went into private ownership. Viewing is not possible.
Uhenfels estate
The cupbearer Hans von Aubern received the hamlet of Seeburg from Count Ludwig and Ulrich in 1336. In 1695 the Auchenhof was sold to four farmers by Duke Eberhard Ludwig. In 1837 it passed into the hands of Court Marshal C. von Hayn; From 1899 the new owners of the castle, the Warburg family, ran a farm here. In 1938 the property was divided between the communities of Trailfingen and Seeburg; the estate became the young cattle pasture of the predecessor of today's Baden-Württemberg Cattle Union. It was later returned to its rightful owners.
cenotaph
There is a memorial on the castle hill, which was commissioned by Gabriel Georg Warburg and Lucie Lea Warburg. It was designed by Fritz Steisslinger and built in 1920 by master stonemason Karl Gäter.
Burial of the von Hayn family
Many members of the von Hayn family are buried in Seeburg.
Ermsquelle
The well carved in tuff from 1895 was carried out by Government Councilor Deutelmoser, Ludwigsburg State Archives. The mean flow rate of the spring is 400 l / s.
Erms power plant
The power plant from 1920 was built by Chr. Döbler and served to supply the cement works in Münsingen and Seeburg. It was established after the Lower Talmühle was no longer in operation. Today the electricity is fed into the grid at the Seetal substation . The power plant can be visited on request at the Münsingen municipal utility.
