Disestablishment
January 1336: Attempts by the Frankensteins to assert themselves against the strongest powers in the region - the Fulda monastery and the Thuringian landgraves - led to their downfall. In 1265, Frankenstein Castle was besieged and partially destroyed by Abbot Bertho II of Fulda. The castle was last important in 1335 in connection with a dispute between the last Frankenstein owners.
