ルートヴィヒスブルクのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

"Schleglerkasten" (Source: https://www.heimsheim.de) The events of September 14, 1395, resulted in the destruction of the town and, with it, the old Schlegler castle. Apart from the castle cellar (two vaulted cellars beneath the Graevenitz Castle) and a cross vault in what is now the library, nothing remains of this old castle. On undeveloped land next to it, the tower castle, affectionately known locally as the "Schleglerkasten," was built. Its construction dates back to around 1415 (dendrochronological analysis revealed that the oldest timbers were felled in 1413), when the Lords of Gemmingen bought half of the town from the Lords of Stein. After the fire, the latter were unable to rebuild the castle and the town.

The waiting shelter dates back to 1925 and was used by the SSB.
