The progressive decay of the walls of the Turmhölzle ruins, which were excavated in 1981, was the catalyst for the initiation of the support group in 2023. In a meeting on June 16, 2024 the support group was transfored to a registered association.
The Förderkreis Ruine Turmhölzle is an association of castle enthusiasts from the region who have set themselves the goal of researching and preserving the castle ruins in the upper Wiesental. Preservation activities are urgently needed, especially at the Turmhölzle ruins. This will not be easy, but there are successful examples in South Baden that give us courage (e.g. the Wieladingen ruins).
The support group needs as many people as possible to help with this task. We would be delighted if more castle enthusiasts would join us and take part in our activities or just support the society with their membership. The annual fee is 10,00 Euro.
