The Weinberger Kerner House and the women trust are closely related. Shortly after Kerner had settled as a senior medical officer in Weinsberg, he strove to preserve the ruins. He called for this purpose in 1823, "Women's Association of Weinsberg" to life, whose main task was to save the castle from further decay. King William I in 1824 enfeoffed the association with the castle, which today is still owned by the "Justinus Kerner's and women's club." Justinus Kerner had led his friends and visitors often to the castle. In the niches of the "Fat Tower" he had installed an aeolian harp. Theobald Kerner, his son left, towards the end of the 19th Century in the walls of the ruin engrave the names of visitors, often with the year of their visit, and verses, with reference to the castle. He has thus created a unique guest book, "Stone Album", as thoughtful complement to his book "The Kerner House and its guests." Some of the inscriptions are now heavily weathered, but it can still make a lot of interesting and often surprising discoveries in this plastic directory of names from friends and acquaintances of Justinus Kerner.
