Germany
 , in the kingdom of
Wurttemberg
 , ro m. N. of
Stuttgart
 , is situated on a conical hill, limo ft. high, overlooking the town of Asperg. It was formerly strongly fortified and was
long
  the state prison of the kingdom of
Wurttemberg
 . Among the many who have been interned here may be mentioned the notorious Jew financier,
Joseph
  Suss-Oppenheimer (16921738) and the poet C. F. D. Schubart (17391791). It is now a reformatory. Hohenasperg originally belonged to the

Tubingen
  and from them was acquired in 1308 by Wurttemberg. In 1535 the fortifications were extended and strengthened, and in 1635 the town was taken by the Imperialists, who occupied it until 1649.
