Our History<\/h2>\n

1062<\/strong>
\nThe Weitenburg is mentioned for the first time in a document from the Hirsau Abbey in the Black Forest.<\/p>\n

from 1437<\/strong>
\nThe first documented owner of the Weitenburg appears, the plunderous and quarrelsome Hans Pfuser von Nordst\u00e4dten, in the records of the Imperial Court in Rottweil.<\/p>\n

1583<\/strong>
\nJakob von Ehningen erects the main building of the Weitenburg, still recognizable today by its mighty walls and stepped gables.<\/p>\n

1681<\/strong>
\nEmperor Leopold I raises Doctor of both laws, Jacob Christoph Ra\u00dfler, to the baronial rank; henceforth his descendants may call themselves Baron, Baroness, or Baronesse von Ra\u00dfler von Gamerschwang, commonly referred to as Baron, Baroness, or Baronesse von Ra\u00dfler.<\/p>\n

1720<\/strong>
\nBaron Rupert von Ra\u00dfler acquires the Weitenburg for 43,000 Rhenish guilders, the purchase contract remains in the castle’s archives to this day.<\/p>\n

from 1730<\/strong>
\nThe Weitenburg loses its character as a fortified castle, the moat is built over, and the complex is transformed into a residential palace.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

1806<\/strong>
\nAfter the Peace of Pressburg (1805), the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation comes to an end. Friedrich I, newly crowned King of W\u00fcrttemberg by Napoleon’s grace, seizes all the rights of the old Imperial Knighthood, and Further Austria disappears from the map.<\/p>\n

1869<\/strong>
\nThe baroque south wing including the chapel is demolished and replaced by a building in neo-Gothic style.<\/p>\n

1922<\/strong>
\nHis Excellency, Baron Maximilian Rudolph von Ra\u00dfler, royal chamberlain and chief steward of the last Queen of W\u00fcrttemberg, closes his eyes forever.<\/p>\n

1954<\/strong>
\nHis grandson, Agricultural Engineer Baron Max Richard von Ra\u00dfler (sen.), then 25 years old, opens Schloss Weitenburg to paying guests – initially as a restaurant, later also as a hotel.<\/p>\n

1998<\/strong>
\nThe Red Salon, the grand room of the castle, becomes the first wedding room for civil weddings in a private castle in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg.<\/p>\n

since 2001<\/strong>
\nBaron Max-Richard von Ra\u00dfler (jun.) is the owner of Schloss Weitenburg in the ninth generation and personally manages the affairs of the hotel and restaurant.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n
