Steinberg Castle, between Sinsheim and Weiler and visible from afar, was called the “compass on the Kraichgau” early in the region’s history. Historical drawings of the mountain and the castle date back to the early Middle Ages. It saw many dynasties through the centuries. The poet Spervogel sang about the castle in his love songs during the second half of the 12th Century. From the 13th – 15th Century, the castle was the domicile of a Palatine office for administration property holdings in southwest Kraichgau. The castle has been property of the City of Sinsheim since 1973, which has since invested significant amounts of sums in its maintenance. Today, a castle restaurant is housed in the former residential and commercial buildings. With its rustic space, the restaurant provides home-style cooking and excellent wines from the region to satisfy visitors.
