Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

August 11, 2025

The Reitzenstein family descended from the ancient Franconian nobility. They first appeared in documents in 1318 under the name "Konrad von der Grün," to whom the family line also traces its origins. As early as 1325, Chunrad von der Grün called himself "Reichzenstein" after the Reitzenstein Fortress, which he owned and was built around 1130. The ancestral seat of the Barons of Reitzenstein passed into other hands over time. The St. Wolfgang Castle Chapel was later abandoned. Parts of the altar found a new home in the Issigau Church. Reitzenstein served as a court seat until the mid-19th century.
In 1889, the Barons of Reitzenstein repurchased their ancestral seat.

The castle towers over the small town of Reitzenstein. It is privately owned by the Freiherren von Reitzenstein.

Konrad's son Chunrad von der Grün called himself "Reichzenstein" as early as 1325 after the Reitzenstein fortress that belonged to him and was built around 1130. Today the place is incorporated into Issigau in Upper Franconia.
