The name "Nippenburg" has always been associated with Schwieberdingen. The Nippenburg was probably built in the 9th century. The first mention in the Codex Hirsaugensis reads: "When in 1160 Berwart built a mill below the Nippenburg for the monastery." This refers to today's Hagmühle in the Hemmingen area.
Located on a mountain spur, three sides of the castle were protected by a precipice and swamp, the fourth side with a mighty shield wall and moat in front of it was difficult to capture. There is no record of the Nippenburg being destroyed or burned down. For many centuries it provided its residents with safety and refuge until it was finally left to decay in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The restoration of the Nippenburg began in 1979. The securing work on the ruin, which was in danger of collapsing and overgrown with ivy, was carried out with painstaking manual labor. Later, the work was continued with a tractor that served as a tractor, construction crane and wheelbarrow all in one.
In September 1984, the work was largely completed. The Nippenburg is now once again one of the sights in the Ludwigsburg district and a popular local recreation destination in the region.

April 15, 2022,Herrenhaus Schloss Nippenburg – Burgruine Nippenburg Runde von Schwieberdingen

Great and varied hike, partly unpaved and very narrow paths. The kids loved the nature trail with the fallen trees that you have to climb over. The castle roughly in the middle of the tour is a great place to rest.

Nice round to Nippenburg and along the forest path, the path goes along the golf course. What doesn't work at all is that the adjacent piece of forest and the meadow are littered with golf balls, 🤦‍♂️🤔

An unexpected free Sunday, perfect weather and a new camera to find your way around. What more do I want... 😊

The tour was actually planned over the Glems at the adventurous transition. But no one could get over there today because of a lot of water! So everything back again and the conventional way to the Nippenburg ... And then once around the golf course

The meadow paths were already very muddy today ...

Getting down through the forest from the castle was a challenge as the path is very narrow and there is a lot of storm damage.
In the summer it will be too hot as there are long stretches without shade. Otherwise not so sparkling. The castle is definitely worth a visit.
