Dellmensingen Castle

Dellmensingen Castle, Early Baroque castle in Erbach, Germany.

Dellmensingen Castle is a three-story stone structure with a pitched roof located in Upper Swabia. The building displays clear Baroque architectural features with classical proportions and organized interior spaces.

Two castles once stood in Dellmensingen, both destroyed in the Thirty Years War. The Lower Castle was rebuilt in Baroque style in 1685; the Upper Castle passed in 1657 to Georg Heinrich von Werdenstein, an official of Kempten Abbey, making the village the seat of the Barons of Werdenstein until 1796.

The castle's name comes from the village of Dellmensingen, which became the main residence of the Barons of Werdenstein after 1657. The building later housed Söflingen Abbey nuns in 1809 and, in 1942, more than 100 elderly Jews before deportation; 18 died there and were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Laupheim.

The interior of the castle is now divided into residential apartments and office spaces for small businesses. Since it is an occupied and active building, viewing from outside is the most practical and respectful approach.

In March to August 1942 the castle was used as a so-called retirement home for Jews: more than 100 elderly Jews were forced to live there before deportation to the death camps, and 18 died during their stay, buried in the Jewish cemetery in Laupheim. In autumn 1942, 23 families from Slovenia were housed there; all returned to Slovenia in July 1945.
