The Hohenburg castle was built around 1000 AD. The name Hohenfels, meaning “High Rock,” refers to
the elevated location of the castle. The castle changed hands several times over the centuries. After destruction
and decay, it was rebuilt in 1584. Its role as the home of nobility ended in 1641 when it was badly damaged by
lightning that struck the gunpowder tower. Later, private owners tore it down, leaving nothing but the ruins that
remain on the training area today.

There are several castles called Hohenburg in Germany, Austria and the Alsace, but I haven't found one near Stuttgart. Maybe you've got more luck. Check this list:
