The castle towers over the town, then as now. Once the magnificent residence of the prince-provosts and later of the kings of Württemberg, the extensive complex in the middle of orchards now houses several state and district authorities as well as the castle museum. There is less pomp today, but the people have always been critical of that. When the king once resided there, his banner flew over the castle. The people of Ellwangen used to say: "The rag hangs outside, so the rags are inside!"

The Staufer stele has stood in front of the entrance gate to Ellwangen Castle since 2012, which dates back to a castle built around 1200 by Abbot Kuno I. The stele was created by the Stuttgart sculptor Markus Wolf. His workshop also produced the other Staufer steles, which are located in authentic locations to commemorate the Staufers, who were German kings and emperors in the High Middle Ages. There are currently 39 of these octagonal memorial stones. The first Staufer stele was inaugurated on December 13, 2000, the 750th anniversary of the death of the last Staufer emperor, Frederick II, in the ruins of Castel Fiorentino in Italy.

Older letter writers still know the castle gate of Ellwangen from a 50-pfennig definitive stamp of the Federal Post Office: in 1967, the view was depicted on the blue stamp.

The church is worth a visit. It's really impressive

Super nice old town. You should plan a break here.

A highlight in the Kochertal. You get an even better view from the path above, which leads through the forest
