Y'all know I go wandering, hiking between historical points of interest.
Friday I was out near Oppenweiler, north of Stuttgart.
Washerschloss Oppenheimer was one of the homes of the Sturmfeder barons. It was built in the 18th century on way, way older foundations.

Burg Reichenberg, not too far away from Oppenweiler, was built to guard the whole region. It was property of the Margraves of Baden.
It is perhaps the best preserved of all the castles built during the age of the Hohenstaufen dynasty.
The chapel has medieval wallpaintings.

Finally, Schloss Lautereck was property of the Counts of Lowenstein and guard the community of Sulzbach an der Murr.
These were all within 5km of one another. It really gives you an idea of how fiefdoms butted up against one another, and nobles negotiated power.
