Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Weißenstein, am Rande der verkarsteten Hochfläche des Albuchs, Schwäbischen Alb, bis 1974 eine kleine, selbstständige Stadt (Stadtrechte von 1384). Im Hintergrund das Schloss Weißenstein der „Grafen von Rechenburg“ und die Kirche „Mariä Himmelfahrt“, die beiden Symbole der Herrschaft über Stadt und Land. Das Schloss war ursprünglich eine Stadtburg, bei der Ort und Burg durch mittelalterliche Wehranlagen (Stadtmauer) geschützt waren. Heute ist nur noch die Schenkelmauer erhalten, die den überdachten Kirchgang ermöglichte. Den Standort der Burgen, heute des Schlosses, bestimmte das „Forellenloch“, eine permanent schüttende Wasserhöhle, deren Wassernutzung (ausschließlich?) für das Schloss und die ehemalige „Gräflich-Rechberg'sche Brauerei“ durch Fassung gesichert war.

English: Weißenstein (Lauterstein) subsection of the eastern Swabian Alb called „Albuch“, before 1974 it was a small municipal with all rights of a medieval town (“Stadtrechte” since 1384). In the back: The two symbols of power: the castle of the Counts of Rechenberg and the church “Mariä Himmelfahrt”. The Castle and the town were protected by a medieval wall, of which only a roofed stone stairway from the castle into the church remains. The position of the castle was strategically chosen to always protect the main medivial water supply for the sole use by the count, his court and his former brewery. For this purpose the cave spring had a tunnel waterway.
