The Altscharfeneck castle in Frankweiler (Rhineland-Palatinate) was built by Emperor Frederik I Barbarossa. The castle was managed by Hendrik van Scharfenberg, who calls Van Scharfeneck from 1219. After the extinction of the family in the thirteenth century, the castle came to Jan van Metze. It built the Neuscharfeneck castle. The glory came to the palace of the Palatinate in 1416.
Keurvorst Philips I gave the glory to Louis, the illegitimate son of keurvorst Frederik I from his relationship with Klara Dettin. In 1488 Louis also became Count of Löwenstein. After the death of Frederick I of Löwenstein-Wertheim in 1541 he was succeeded in Scharfeneck by his eldest son Wolfgang I. This separate branch Löwenstein-Scharfeneck died in 1633, after which the glory came to Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort.
