Scheuerberg (310 Meter)

At 310 meters above sea level, you have a fantastic view of Neckarsulm and the surrounding area from the Scheuerberg. In the Middle Ages, the Scheuerberg Castle was located on the mountain. However, after the Peasants' War in 1525, the castle was not repaired. In 1974 a huge stone wall of the former castle complex was exposed. For historians, this is possible evidence that the castle on the Scheuerberg was possibly the most powerful of the numerous castles in the Heilbronn area.

The Scheuerberg near Neckarsulm is a 300 m high elevation of the Sulmer Bergebene, on which was once the castle Scheuerberg with chapel and is considered the local mountain of the city.

Der Scheuerberg bei Neckarsulm im baden-württembergischen Landkreis Heilbronn ist eine 310,2 m ü. NHN hohe Erhebung der Sulmer Bergebene, auf dem sich einst die Burg Scheuerberg mit Kapelle befand und der als Hausberg der Stadt gilt.
Eine Kapelle auf dem Scheuerberg wurde erstmals 1264 im Zusammenhang mit einer Stiftung von Engelhard IV. und Engelhard V. von Weinsberg erwähnt. Im selben Dokument wurde auch eine Burg auf dem Berg erwähnt, deren Baubeginn auf die Zeit zwischen 1218 und 1250 datiert wird – heute Burg Scheuerberg genannt. Auf der dem Neckar zugewandten Westseite des Berges soll sich die Hauptburg befunden haben, östlich davon die Vorburg. Als Erbauer gelten die Herren von Weinsberg. Engelhard VII. von Weinsberg verkaufte die Burg am 2. Mai 1335 an Erzbischof Balduin von Trier, der zu dieser Zeit auch Administrator des Erzbistums Mainz war und auf dem Scheuerberg einen kurmainzischen Vogt einsetzte. Am 7. Mai 1484 kam der Scheuerberg unter Deutschmeister Reinhard von Neipperg an den Deutschorden. Am 19. April 1525 wurde die Burg im Bauernkrieg niedergebrannt.
Danach wurde die Burg nicht wieder instand gesetzt. Die Kapelle soll sich noch in gutem Zustand befunden haben, da noch 1529 dort Gottesdienste stattfanden. Von der Burg waren zunächst noch der Bergfried und äußerst massive Mauern vorhanden. Unter Deutschmeister Walther von Cronberg, der nach 1530 auch das ebenfalls zerstörte Schloss Heuchlingen restaurieren ließ, bestanden im 16. Jahrhundert Pläne, auch die Burg auf dem Scheuerberg wiederaufzubauen, was jedoch verworfen wurde. In den nachfolgenden Jahrzehnten und Jahrhunderten wurden die Steine der Burg zum Bau mehrerer großer Gebäude verwendet, u. a. des Amorbacher Hofes, der Neckarsulmer Pfarrkirche und 1655 des Neckarsulmer Kapuzinerklosters. 1705 ordnete ein Amtmann Stipplin den Abbruch des damals noch stehenden Bergfrieds und die Einebnung des Geländes zur Nutzung als Weinberg an, jedoch wurden noch 1785 Steine der Ruine zum Bau von Weinbergmauern abgetragen.
Bis zur Flurbereinigung zwischen 1970 und 1974 waren in den Weinbergen auf dem Scheuerberg zahlreiche Steine mit Steinmetzzeichen aus romanischer Zeit zu finden. 1974 wurde außerdem eine gewaltige Steinmauer der ehemaligen Burganlage freigelegt, deren Dimensionen Historiker zu der Aussage veranlasst haben, dass die Burg auf dem Scheuerberg möglicherweise die mächtigste der zahlreichen mittelalterlichen Burgen im Umland von Heilbronn war.

The Scheuerberg at Neckarsulm in the district of Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg is 310.2 m above sea level. NHN high elevation of the Sulmer Bergebene, on which once the castle Scheuerberg with chapel was and which is considered as local mountain of the city.
A chapel on the Scheuerberg was first mentioned in 1264 in connection with a foundation of Engelhard IV and Engelhard V. von Weinsberg. In the same document, a castle on the mountain was mentioned, whose construction is dated to the period between 1218 and 1250 - today called Castle Scheuerberg. On the west side of the mountain facing the Neckar is said to have been the main castle, east of it the outer bailey. The builders are the lords of Weinsberg. Engelhard VII of Weinsberg sold the castle on May 2, 1335 to Archbishop Balduin von Trier, who was also administrator of the Archbishopric of Mainz at that time and on the Scheuerberg used a Kurmainzischen Vogt. On May 7, 1484 the Scheuerberg came under Deutschmeister Reinhard von Neipperg to the Teutonic Order. On 19 April 1525, the castle was burned down in the Peasants' War.
After that, the castle was not repaired. The chapel is said to have been in good condition, as 1529 there services were held there. From the castle were initially still the keep and extremely massive walls available. Under German master Walther von Cronberg, who had also restored the destroyed castle Heuchlingen after 1530, existed in the 16th century plans to rebuild the castle on the Scheuerberg, but this was discarded. In the following decades and centuries, the stones of the castle were used for the construction of several large buildings, u. a. the Amorbacher Hof, the Neckarsulm parish church and 1655 the Neckarsulm Capuchin monastery. 1705 ordered a steward Stipplin the demolition of the then still standing donjon and the leveling of the terrain for use as a vineyard, but still 1785 stones of the ruins were removed to build vineyard walls.
Until the land consolidation between 1970 and 1974 numerous stones with stone carvings from Roman times were to be found in the vineyards on the Scheuerberg. In 1974, a huge stone wall of the former castle was uncovered, whose dimensions have caused historians to say that the castle on the Scheuerberg was possibly the most powerful of the numerous medieval castles in the surrounding area of ​​Heilbronn.
