In 1537, Wolf, Peter and Christoph Harsdörffer acquired the castle from Hans and Sebastian Holzschuher, which is still owned today by the old Nuremberg patrician family, who later became barons Harsdorf von Enderndorf.

A manor house is mentioned in 1497 when it was sold to Michael Behaim, whose son Friedrich opened it to the imperial city of Nuremberg in 1517.

In 1535, the humanist and Nuremberg councilor Christoph von Scheurl acquired the mansion for the widow of his brother Albrecht, who was murdered in 1531.

Two protruding half-timbered upper floors with a gable roof and dwarf hip rest on a stone base with only embrasures, and slanted support beams emphasize the expansive superstructure.

Above the arched entrance on the north side is the coat of arms of the Peller von Schoppershof patrician family, which died out in 1870 and owned the castle from 1687.

Today it belongs to the city of Nuremberg; Wedding ceremonies are held in the ground floor hall and the rooms can be rented for events.

[7] During the two bombing nights in Fischbach on August 10th/11th and 27th/28th 1943, strong British bomber units targeted both the Gestapo camp and an 8.8cm anti-aircraft gun battery stationed nearby.

This narrow-gauge railroad was built to transport large quantities of rubble from Nuremberg's old town, 90% of which had been destroyed, to a designated forest area near Fischbach for final storage.

The route near Fischbach changed frequently in order to ensure that debris was deposited in the forests as evenly as possible and not to build up another mountain that could be seen from afar, such as the Silberbuck or the Föhrenbuck, at the harbor.
