 Less than 200 years later, the castle appears as a place name.After multiple changes in ownership and having been pawned many times (noble families documented in this period include von Sickingen, von Rosenberg, von Menzingen, von Neipberg, von Gemmingen as well as the prince-bishops of Speyer), Dielheim finally came as a whole into the ownership of the prince-bishops of Speyer in 1512.The administrative seat of Dielheim for the prince-bishop was in Rotenberg.
