Birkenfeld Castle was first documented in 1293 as a Sponheim property. At the end of the 16th century, Duke Charles expanded it into a princely palace in the Renaissance style. Count Palatine Charles founded the Wittelsbach branch of the Dukes of Palatinate-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld, who became Electors of Bavaria in 1799 (and Kings from 1806). With the French invasion, the castle was declared French national property and auctioned in Trier in 1807. The complex could no longer be maintained by private hands and thus fell into disrepair. Parts of the outer walls and tower stumps, one of which was converted into an observation tower, as well as the former guesthouse with the gatehouse of the castle entrance, remain.

The namesake of the castle and the village of Frauenberg is one of the most colorful female figures of the Middle Ages and proof that women have always played a decisive role in shaping our country's history. Loretta came from the Salm family of counts, wealthy in the Vosges Mountains near Strasbourg, which also maintains dynastic connections in the Luxembourg and Hunsrück regions to this day. In early 1315, not yet 20 years old, she married the much older Count Henry II of Sponheim Starkenburg. Henry died in 1323, and Loretta moved with her three sons to Starkenburg Castle near Trarbach. Loretta was now responsible for managing the county's affairs as guardian of her son, John III, who was probably only eight years old. This castle protruded like a thorn into the Electorate of Trier and threatened to endanger the possessions along the Moselle and around Koblenz. Archbishop Baldwin ruled in Trier. As an elector and brother of an emperor, he was one of the most powerful men in the empire and now considered the time had come to expand his holdings by occupying Sponheim's estates against a supposedly weak woman.
