Weinsberg Castle, Castle ruin in Weinsberg, Germany
The stone walls of Weinsberg Castle stand on a mountain along the former trade route between Heilbronn and Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle faced a significant siege in 1140 during conflicts between the House of Hohenstaufen and House of Welf, leading to its eventual surrender.
The name Weibertreu originates from an event where women carried their husbands on their shoulders during the 1140 siege to save them from execution.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking paths that wind through surrounding vineyards and apple orchards of the Weinsberg region.
The castle structure was destroyed in 1525 during the German Peasants' War, after which the nobleman in command received execution for his treatment of peasants.
