Weckenstein Burg Ruine

Stetten am kalten Markt, Germany, Germany

Weckenstein Burg Ruine in Stetten am kalten Markt, Germany, is a medieval castle ruin overlooking the Schmeie River valley in the Swabian Alb, constructed around the 13th century by local nobles associated with the House of Hohenberg during their regional control.

First tied to the area through 13th-century land transactions involving counts like Albrecht II von Hohenberg, it later passed amid feudal shifts to Austrian overlords by 1381 and the von Hausen family from 1432, suffering conquest by Württemberg forces under Eberhard im Bart around 1470-1473.

Today, the overgrown remnants of walls and foundations amid forested hiking paths near Storzingen offer a quiet testament to Upper Danube frontier fortifications, accessible yet unrestored as part of the local historical landscape.
