Schloss Stocksberg, Medieval castle in Brackenheim, Germany

Schloss Stocksberg is a castle in Brackenheim, Germany, standing on a square plateau separated from the Heuchelberg ridge by a protective ditch. The structure features a two-wing main building with a tower rising about 30 meters (98 feet) high.

The castle first appeared in written records in 1220 and came under the control of the Teutonic Order in 1307. It was rebuilt around 1574 after peasants destroyed it in the preceding century.

The name Stocksberg comes from the lords of Stocksberg, first recorded with Ulrich von Stockersberg in 1220. In April 1525 local peasants who joined Hans Wunderer of Pfaffenhofen plundered and burned the castle; the rebel band was afterwards called the Haufen von Stocksberg. A stone arch in the vineyards marks the former end of the community hollow way up to the castle.

The castle remains in private ownership and is not open to visitors, but several hiking trails in the surrounding area offer good views of the exterior. These paths provide clear sightlines to observe the building's structure and its setting on the plateau.

During World War II, the castle provided shelter for the Reich Labor Service members. After the war, it was converted into a retirement home, giving it an entirely different purpose.
