The Wagenbacher Hof lies between Siegelsbach, Obergimpern and Wollenberg.
Various routes and trails pass here, e.g. also to the Forsthaus, which offers good gastronomy.
The farmstead is probably a former castle or a manor house of the Lords of Wagenbach. The counts of Yrsch have also been mentioned in some writings.
However, there are hardly any traces of the fortified system to be found or seen. They were probably built over by the courtyard buildings all around. However, these are all privately owned and a visit to them is probably not possible.

Seems to be interesting and fairy tales are not only beautiful for children.

As far as I know, a Gertrud von Wagenbach was first mentioned in 1320.

St. Georg Church, Siegelsbach

Highlight • Religious Site

It was cast by Master Speck in 1810 and bears the inscription: "My name is Death Bell. Master Speck cast me in the year one thousand eight hundred and ten. I saw many things grow, mature and pass away. I was taken away twice, but I returned home faithfully. Two wars could not defeat me, my voice was always allowed to ring out again."

The bell was removed twice, but each time it was returned and is now an important monument in the church. It commemorates those who fell in the wars and symbolizes the steadfastness and loyalty of the congregation.

Bad Rappenau Town Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Protestant town church was rebuilt in 1887. The building site was specially filled in so that the church, which is elevated in the centre of the town, stands out from the surrounding buildings. The church and the square are beautifully designed.
