Hattenberg Castle Site The castle was built in the 12th century by the Chamberlains of Kemnat. The Hohenstaufen dynasty had granted the family the sub-advocateship over the possessions of the Bishopric of Augsburg in this area. The branch of the Kemnat family residing at Hattenberg subsequently took its name from the fortress. Several members of the family appear in contemporary documents from the 13th century. However, the castle was devastated in 1297 during a feud between the lord of the castle, Heinrich von Hattenberg, and Bishop Wolfhard von Rohr. The Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg then acquired the associated rights of lordship. Nevertheless, in 1304, the Hattenberg family was appointed Landvogt (governor) of Upper Swabia and city and district governor of Augsburg. Heavily indebted due to his military service in the army of Albrecht I of Austria, the nobleman attempted to improve his financial situation through several raids and highway robberies. The citizens of Augsburg, together with the bishop and the cathedral chapter, sued the knight before King Albrecht in 1305. Shortly thereafter, the "robber knight" was stripped of his bailiwick over the bishop's estates. The Hattenberg family line likely died out with Marquard von Hattenberg around 1370. The castle site had already been pledged by the Prince-Bishopric in 1365. In 1641, the Augsburg Cathedral Chapter purchased the Lordship of Hattenberg. Around 1780, the castle's remaining walls were demolished to make way for the construction of the brewery in Ustersbach. Later, the conical shape of the main castle was partially removed by quarrying the conglomerate rock deposits found there.

Built in 1550, in 1700 the castle came into the possession of the Augsburg patrician family von Stetten through marriage

The castle was built in the 12th century by the chamberlains of Kemnat. The Hohenstaufen dynasty had granted the dynasty the sub-bailiwick over the possessions of the Diocese of Augsburg in this area. The branch of the Kemnat family based in Hattenberg subsequently named itself after the fortress. Several bearers of this name appear in contemporary documents in the 13th century. The castle was, however, already devastated in 1297 during a feud between the lord of the castle, Heinrich von Hattenberg, and Bishop Wolfhard von Rohr. The Bishopric of Augsburg subsequently acquired the associated sovereign rights.

Originally a moated castle, a rectangular structure built under Anton Fugger, individual sections of the walls are medieval, the core dates from the end of the 16th century, renovated around 1730, and remodeled in the last quarter of the 18th century.

Wolfgang von Paler the Elder was granted sheep in 1550. He commissioned the construction of a new palace around 1550/60. The building was presumably destroyed by the Swedes in 1648. The new owner, Raimund Egger, had the palace rebuilt.

Hainhofen Castle is located in the Hainhofen district of the town of Neusäß in the Augsburg district of Bavaria. The property consists of two main buildings: the baroque high castle, a four-story hipped roof building that was built in 1730, and the classicist long castle, which was built between 1760 and 1780 by the von Rehlingen family. The castle originally served as the seat of various patrician families, including the Fuggers and the von Rehlingens. Today it is privately owned and has been extensively restored. In 2013, the owners received the Swabia District Monument Prize for this exemplary renovation. The castle is picturesquely located on the western edge of the town in the Schmutter lowlands and is a protected architectural monument. Although it is not open to the public, it remains an important testimony to regional history and architectural development in Swabia. Near the castle is the Catholic parish church of St. Stephanus, which was built in 1718/19 by Johann Holzapfel. This church is also worth a visit and complements the historical ensemble of Hainhofen. For hikers and nature lovers, the area around the castle offers attractive routes that include the Schmuttertal and the Lohwald. A highlight is certainly the castle in Hainhofen, which was built in 1582 by Anton Fugger.
