Interesting tower with traditional craftsmanship

Bürg Castle, Winnenden Of the former Bürg Castle, the 23-meter-high keep remains, visible from afar. Gottfried von Winnenden had it built in 1181 on the commanding promontory. The once mighty castle complex of Alt-Winnenden fell into ruin during the 15th century and was demolished in 1538, except for the keep. The Bürg district now occupies the site of the castle.

Where only remnants of walls can be seen today, the ancestral castle of the Württemberg dynasty once stood, before they moved to a newly built castle on the eponymous Wirtemberg hill near Stuttgart at the end of the 11th century. The complex was probably built around the year 1000 and is now one of the most important historical sites in the region. During vineyard consolidation work in the mid-20th century, the castle ruins were rediscovered and excavated.

What was Winnenden's former name? In 1525, it was called Bürg, and in 1624, Altwinnenden. Altwinnenden Castle was the seat of the Lords of Winnenden before it became part of Württemberg. Initially, the town, along with the settlements of Schulerhof and Stöckenhof, belonged to the municipality of Baach. In 1686, the town was called Bürck bey Bach.

Falcons live in the castle tower and occasionally stick their heads out or fly in and out.

Today's castle emerged from a castle that was probably built around 1230 by Count Egino von Aichelberg.[1] The knight Ernst von Filseck was mentioned in a document in 1268. Since he was an Aichelberg servant, it is likely that the castle was still owned by the Aichelberg people at that time.[1] The family remained the owner until 1318, when Diepold von Aichelberg and his sons sold the castle to Eberhard I of Württemberg, from whom it was given to the Reuß von Reußenstein family around 1350, in whose ownership it remained for around 200 years. In 1568 the Reuß family sold the imperial manor to the mayor of Göppingen, Balthasar Moser, from whom Dietrich von Gemmingen acquired it just five years later. He sold the unprofitable property in 1596 to Burkhardt von Berlichingen, who began replacing the old castle complex with a more comfortable castle in the Renaissance style in 1597/98. Today's north wing and part of the east wing were given roughly their current shape. In 1608, Burkhardt left the new building to his five heir daughters, in particular Anna Margaretha and her husband Colonel Otto von Vohenstein. In 1648 their son-in-law, Major Matthias Georg Fischer von Rob, took over the facility, which remained in the possession of his son Ludwig Friedrich and his wife Anna Elisabeth, née Neubronner von Eisenburg, until 1706.
