Hohenberg

Hohenberg Castle stood on a height of the Swabian Jura near Schörzingen, a mountain occupied as early as Alemannic times. Built between 1050 and 1100, it became the seat of the counts of Hohenberg, a branch of the Zollern family. The castle passed to Austria with the county in 1381 and was held by successive feudal lords. In 1449, during a feud, soldiers from Rottweil besieged and captured it; the castle was destroyed and its defences demolished.
