House Beutelsbach
More toying around with vintage lenses...
Sorry for the bit of motion blur!
So...These are parts of the ruins of the first fortress constructed by and for the house of Wuertemberg. Construction took place in the 10th or 11th century.
The fortress served as a defence for the "Kaiserstraße" (Emperors road).
Till roughly 1080 House of Wuertemberg was still called house of Beutelsbach after their fortress here over the village. The namechange occured when they had their newer and bigger fortress on Wirtemberg constructed,
Anyway the fortress got completely forgotten and only "found" during land consolidations in 1968.
Unfortunately parts of the reconstructions do not match scientific standards plus the largest part has not been recreated at all!
At the moment the whole thing is locked behin temporary fencing I suspect exessive drinking and partying in the ruins as the cause.
