Between 914 and 930 AD, Bishop Tuto of Regensburg had a stronghold built to ward off the invasions of Hungary. This bishop castle was in the following centuries a fiercely contested fortification between the Duchy of Bavaria, the Hochstift Regensburg (= territory of the bishop) and the free imperial city of Regensburg. When the Bishop of Regensburg was in need of money, he pledged the castle to the city or to the Bavarian duke.
The name "stouf" is the Old High German name for rock, hilltop or mountain of the shape of a truncated cone. During excavations in the northeast corner of the lower outer bailey in 1981, a prehistoric Celtic fortification can be detected. With the help of various finds, this fortification can be dated back to around 500 BC. Be dated. The castle hill disappears again for several centuries from the field of view of history, to emerge all the more clearly in the 10th century AD.

The castle ruins are largely spared from tourism. The view of the Danube is river upwards and down grandiose. For wedding couples, it offers wonderful corners for taking photographs.

Free and the ascent is worth it to see Regensburg.
