In popular speech Sterrenberg Castle and Liebenstein Castle are called the "Hostile Brothers". Probably the disputes of the different owners of the castles inspired the legend around the hostile brothers, first told in 1587.

In reality Liebenstein Castle, built in the 13th Century and therefore the younger one, was the forecastle of Sterrenberg Castle. The two shield walls serve as improved defence of Sterrenberg. If they were meant against Liebenstein Castle itself is historically not documented.

It is taken for granted that there never has been an armed conflict between the castles.

Today the tower accommodates a hotel and a restaurant.
