For around 900 years, Windeck Castle has been overlooking the settlements in the Rhine Valley, which many years ago offered a habitat not only for Celts and Romans. Weinheim's oldest building was built around 1100, built by the Lorsch monastery abbots to protect their possessions in Weinheim. In the Thirty Years' War, the "Windeck" was severely damaged several times and repaired in a makeshift manner, and in 1674 the commander-in-chief of the French troops, Marshal Vicomte de Turenne, finally dragged it in the course of the Dutch-French war. for Weinheimer houses.
