Disestablishment

  • January 1248: In 1220 the town already had ring walls and a moat[12], but in 1247 Wasserburg was conquered by Duke Ludwig (later Ludwig II the Strict) after a 17-week siege. The possessions of the Count of Wasserburg passed to the duke and Wasserburg was thus owned by the Wittelsbach family (contract of inheritance).
