Since the 13th century, the margraves of Baden were with the sideline of Hachberger owners and users of the plant. The great period of the castle began in the 17th century, when margrave George Frederick of Baden had it built into a fortress. In the Thirty Years' War, however, it was thoroughly destroyed in 1636. Although Margrave Friedrich VI. The rebuilding of Baden in 1660, but the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 led to the final destruction.
