Nuremberg Castle
In the 13th century a descendant from seneschal (Truchseß) of Pommersfelden took the area in possession, named themselves the ‘Truchseß von Röttenbach’ and founded Röttenbach. Deeds show that farms and estates were divided among landlords and changed owners several times. In 1322 an Estate went to the abbot of the monastery Michaelsberg, in 1329 another to the bailiff at Nuremberg Castle. In 1476 the Bamberger cloister founded its Court in Röttenbach.
