Forgotten History
Burg Hossingen
Hossingen, Germany
Hossingen Castle, also known as Burtel Castle or Hossenburg, is the remains of a spur castle at 830 m above sea level. NN in the valley (short form of local dialect: Burtel) 750 meters southwest (Swabian Alb road to Unterdigisheim) of the church in Hossingen, a district of Meßstetten in the Zollernalb district in Baden-Württemberg. The name could go back to Mömpelgard's coat of arms, two golden barbs facing away in red, "the Counts of Württemberg and Mömpelgard" as owners of the castle since 1418. Local researcher Hermann Krauß considers a derivation from Burgtal to be obvious.
