The name Hersberg is probably derived from the Old High German root word hari/heri for mountain range.[1] The first unsecured written reference is a mention of the brothers Berctoldus and Heinricus von Herisberg in 1276. What is certain is that in 1466 the Hersberg was in the fief of the Überlingen citizen and later Fürstenberg vassal Konrad Rudolf von Härsberg. In 1621 the Benedictines of the Ochsenhausen monastery bought the Hersberg from Härsberg's descendants. After secularization, the monastic property passed to Prince Franz Georg Karl von Metternich in 1803, father of the Austrian State Minister Prince von Metternich. Hersberg was then bought by the House of Württemberg[2] in 1806 and by Prince Konstantin zu Salm-Reifferscheidt in 1838. In an exchange with Waggershausen near Friedrichshafen, the Württemberg exclave of Herrschberg - the name of the territory around Hersberg Castle - became Baden in 1846. Franz zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck, the descendant of Constantine, sold the castle property on February 7, 1929 to the Pallottines (“Society of the Catholic Apostolate”), who ran the “St. Josef-Hersberg” maintained school operations.[3] In 1994 it was reopened as the Pallottine Spiritual House (Wikipedia).

High above Lake Constance, on a mountain spur, is one of the region's landmarks: Meersburg Castle, also known as "Meersburg Old Castle". The oldest still inhabited castle in Germany.
