The small variant of the big namesake. Road cyclists have always tried to impress each other regarding riding performance. The saying was: We can connect Frankfurt, Heilbronn, Ingolstadt in one day with a bike tour. For the big role models, there are villages in Middle Franconia with the same name that are not far apart. You can still add Nuremberg as the original to make the impression perfect. But then this should probably be classified more in the category of "fish tales", right?

The place was first mentioned in 1154/57 as "Brunnen" (Brunn) in a document in which the Heilsbronn Monastery exchanged goods in this and other places for goods in other places. In 1311, the monastery sold its goods to Wolfram von Urach. From 1400 to 1458, the castle was owned by the Lords of Seckendorff, then by the Lords of Lüchau. Brunn Castle was burned down in 1409 (and again in 1501). The core of what is now known as the Old Castle dates from 1525 (the castle was damaged in the Peasants' War) and 1553 (also damaged in the Second Margrave War).
