Viticulture in the Ortenau region is closely intertwined with the history of Staufenberg Castle – as is that of the noble family Margrave of Baden. The castle was built in the 11th century by the famous ducal family of the Zähringers, the ancestors of the current Margraves of Baden – thus it boasts a proud age of almost 1000 years. The name of the castle is derived from "Stauf", which in Old High German denotes a "cone-shaped mountain". A fitting description of the Staufenberg, which is over 380 m high. The earliest evidence of viticulture dates back to 1366. In 1693, Ludwig Wilhelm Margrave of Baden, the "Türkenlouis" and also godchild of the Sun King, was able to reacquire the castle. In 1832, it was then expanded according to the taste of the time into a 'romantic' castle, and visitors can still experience this "romance" today.
