Wolfegg Castle is the home of the Princes of Waldburg-Wolfegg who, until recently, owned the Waldseemüller map, a printed wall map of the world by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller. The map was originally published in 1507 and remained at the castle until 2001 when the family sold it to the U.S. Library of Congress. The 500 year old map, also known as 'America's Birth Certificate', is the first document on which the name 'America' appears.
