Situated in a scenic location (390 m above sea level), Waldenstein Castle dominates the beautiful Wieslauf Valley. The castle, with its walls up to 3 m thick, suggests a certain importance in earlier times. The property and the surrounding area belonged to the Hohenstaufen dynasty; when Württemberg assumed control is unknown. However, Count Ulrich I of Württemberg appears to have been the overlord of the castle as early as 1251. Around 1420, Waldenstein Castle was then described as the property of Württemberg, which, however, frequently mortgaged its bailiwick. After the Rudersberg district was established, Count Ulrich V granted Waldenstein Castle, including gardens, meadows, pastures, and fishing waters, to his court master, Antony von Emershofen, in 1456. The feudal services were the responsibility of the surrounding villages such as Schlechtbach, Steinenberg, Rudersberg, and Michelau, which redeemed themselves for 720 guilders in 1590. The Emershofen family remained on the Waldenstein for over a hundred years. Hans and Gerung von Emershofen are known by name. The latter was the bailiff of Winnenden and stabbed a farmer while trading oats. After this crime, he fled to the commandery of the Teutonic Order in Winnenden. The sub-bailiff of Schorndorf then took over the property. In 1551, Duke Christoph enfeoffed Chr. Waldauf, already known as Christoph von Waldenstein, with the Waldenstein, who was succeeded by his son in 1571. Around 1586, we encounter a line of the von Gaisberg family. In the 17th century, the von Göllnitz family acquired the estate, and in 1761, the widow of the court physician Riecke of Stuttgart owned it as a Kunkellehen. In 1792, the property was sold by the Chamber Clerk's Office to the municipality of Rudersberg. Some of the noblemen who named themselves after the Waldenstein belonged to the class of dynasts. Special mention should be made of Konrad von Waldenstein, who was part of Count Ulrich II of Württemberg's entourage around 1720. The Lords of Gaisberg apparently owned Waldenstein only for a short time. The following episode is related to this noble family: At the end of the 16th century, the plague raged in Germany. Anna von Gaisberg, who had married a Baron von Holtz and was staying in Welzheim, wanted to escape the epidemic. She sought shelter at the castle with her parents, but was not allowed in for fear of bringing the terrible disease. On November 1, 1597, she gave birth to a boy outside the protective castle walls, near a well belonging to the castle – the later famous Generalfeldzeugmeister Georg Fr. von Holtz. Since the 17th century, representatives of the lower nobility and commoners were also enfeoffed with Waldenstein.

In 1538, Duke Ulrich in Schorndorf began expanding the old fortifications into a modern, bastioned earth wall fortress. First, the "castle" was built in its present form with the four round towers and a large catering magazine in the basement in place of the old castle. The bastions were initially built as roundels. Then work began on creating a 30 meter wide earth wall and a 35 meter wide moat. The ramparts, which were almost two kilometers long, made the Schorndorf project the most expensive undertaking in the state fortifications. In the years 1811 to 1880, essential parts of the fortifications were removed. In the meantime, the remains of the casemates, the former castle bastion, hidden in the ground have been uncovered.

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.
