Wäscherschloss Castle

Open to visitors from April to October. Nice view of Hohenstaufen and Rechberg.

The memorial column goes back to an initiative of the "Committee of the Staufer Friends". It works to ensure that the steles preserve the memory of the Staufer rulers wherever there is an outstanding connection to the aristocratic family.
The monuments are works by the Stuttgart sculptor Markus Wolf. Donors took over the financing of the steles. The committee ceased its activities at the end of 2018.
By this time, thirty-eight Staufer steles had been implemented in six European countries.

The Wäscherburg, also known as a laundry lock or laundry lock, is located in the Wäscherhof district of Wäschenbeuren in the Göppingen district in Baden-Württemberg and was built between 1220 and 1250. The hill castle stands about 436 meters above the Beutental and has a clear view of the Hohenstaufen.
