    The first lord of the castle was Hildebrand Spenlin from Breisach. The word "Spenlin" means "little shavings" (from a plane). In Alemannic usage, Spenlin is called "Spänle."

    Without the diminutive, Span = Spon. The castle is mentioned in documents as Spenlins Eck, Span-Egge, or the Sponeck.

      An important fort stood here in the late Roman Empire. It secured the crossing of the Rhine. Today Sponeck Castle is still privately owned and can usually only be visited twice a year. But that doesn't matter: the garden with works of art and the remains of the Roman fort is always accessible.

        Interesting castle complex. Beautiful garden. A detour is worthwhile.
