Schloss Rotenberg, Cultural heritage monument in Rauenberg, Germany.

The castle stands on a hillside above Rotenberg district, featuring a Renaissance portal and modern structures from the 1920s reconstruction.

The first documented mention of Rotenberg Castle dates back to 1184, when Count Boppo von Laufen exchanged the mountain 'Rotemberch' for vineyards with Schönau monastery.

The castle underwent substantial changes in 1921-1922 under the ownership of Franz von Reichenau, transforming it from ruins into a residential building.

After World War II, the property transferred to Baden-Württemberg state and served as emergency accommodation for refugees before becoming a youth center.

The structure experienced multiple transformations, from a medieval fortress to a residential castle, then to ruins, and finally to its current form in the 1920s.
