In former times it was called castle Stabekkum or Sthaleckthum.Until 1148 almost 10 years of fight followed for the rights of the Stahleck. Through evil manipulation Hermann, brother-in-law of King Konrad III, finally won. The palatinate and the estates fell to him.In the yeasr 1156, after the death of Hermann of Stahleck, his stepbrother Konrad von Hohenstaufen became count palatine of Bacharach on the Rhine river.
