Here you can find information about Landskron Castle: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Landskron_(Oppenheim)

story Before Landskron Castle was built, there was probably a Salic or Hohenstaufen fortification on the same site, which was owned by King Henry V and destroyed in 1118 by troops of Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz. The castle itself was probably built in the early 13th century. The oldest surviving written mention of the "Reichsburg Oppenheim" comes from 1244. This castle was destroyed in 1257 and 1275 by the citizens of Oppenheim in a dispute with the Burgmannen over their privileges. However, Rudolf von Habsburg forced the citizens to rebuild the castle by 1281. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV pledged the castle to Ruprecht von der Pfalz. Accordingly, Ruprecht had the castle expanded. He was succeeded by his grandson Ruprecht III. as the owner of the castle, who also died there. In 1615, Elector Frederick V had the castle rebuilt like a palace. The castle burned down in the Thirty Years' War during the town fire in Oppenheim

The robber baron's castle On August 29, 1379, 18 knights met at Tannenberg Castle, who concluded an extended truce and promised each other protection. Among these comrades-in-arms was Count Wilhelm II von Katzenelnbogen. He was a founding member of the Lion League founded on October 13, 1379. The Lion League also included Werner Kalb from Reinheim, who at the time was the administrator of Tannenberg Castle (and allegedly the feudal owner of Nieder-Modau Castle) and went down in the history books as a robber baron, and Johann von Cronberg as the 19th comrade-in-arms.[4] After violent feuds between the Cronbergers and the city of Frankfurt (Kronberger feud), Hartmut the Younger von Cronberg moved his residence with 30 helpers and servants to the Tannenburg at the end of the 14th century, of which he only owned 1/8. From then on, the castle became a feared seat of robber barons, from which raids and plunders were undertaken.
