Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

The castle gained notoriety in 2000 through a gunman.

Unfortunately, the castle cannot be visited as it is in private hands and houses boarding schools and schools. Thus, any access for unauthorized persons is prohibited and cordoned off.

The place Brannenburg is first mentioned in a document between 993 and 1000. The name Brannenburg can be traced back to the fact that space was created for a settlement at this point by clearing and burning (the municipal coat of arms still indicates this today). The place belonged as a closed village to the castle and later Hofmark Brannenburg. A noble family called von Brannenburg (Prantenperch) were ministerials of the Counts of Falkenstein and died out in the 14th century. The most famous inhabitant of the castle was probably the military leader Kaspar II. Winzerer, who also received the court marque justice for the castle. In 1554, the property passed to Hans Caspar von Pienzenau, who had it converted into a renaissance castle. Major Max Reinhardt had the palace rebuilt in the English neo-Gothic style between 1872 and 1875. In the 1960s, as the Institut Schloss Brannenburg, it became a state-recognized private secondary school and private technical college with boarding school for boys and girls.
