The castle was built in 1368 by Count Eberhard V. von Katzenelnbogen to secure the northeastern border of its territory. However, the traditional completion date of 1371 is considered unlikely because of the apparently too short construction time. The surrounding settlement must have existed before the castle, because also in 1368 Emperor Charles IV gave her the city rights, which was associated with the permission to build fortifications and to host a daily weekly market. Nevertheless, the settlement did not develop into a city and was referred to as a "spot" until the 18th century.
