Perched on a rocky spur above the Neckar, between the river valley and the Mühlbach valley, Burg Guttenberg has been continuously inhabited for nearly eight centuries. It has remained in the hands of the von Gemmingen-Guttenberg family since they acquired it in the fifteenth century, and they still live there today.
