The Escheberg Castle and estate has been owned by the von der Malsburg family without interruption since 1018! The family history itself probably goes back even further and is related to the former Malsburg.

The castle grounds are therefore privately owned and cannot be entered - with one exception: the castle park may be visited! It is important, however, that the palace park can only be entered through the main entrance at the orangery. The side gates are locked.

The fact that Emanuel Geibel lived and wrote poetry there for two years also contributes to the important history of the castle. Ludwig Emil Grimm was also a guest here. They met in the manor house's Poetenstube, which has remained unchanged since then, and signed the guest book.

The full story about Escheberg Castle is available on the website:
malsburg-escheberg.de/ueber-uns/geschichte-des-gutes-escheberg

The highlight can only be recommended to a limited extent for hikers, because if you want to include it in a hike, you have to expect to walk mostly on district roads that do not have sidewalks and are often lined with crash barriers. Thanks to road traffic, the hike is only a limited pleasure, even if the castle is worth seeing.
