Fleckenstein Family

was the Fleckenstein castle considered in Germany or France between 1795 and 1860? Is there a Fleckenstein genealogy published showing French origins? I have a relative, Peter Fleckenstein, who emigrated to the US in 1854. He may have been born in Miltenberger Landkreis. His father was Adam Fleckenstein (1795-1850) and all I know about his was that he was supposedly from Germany. I am trying to see if there is a French connection.
