Interesting, thank you for the inspirations! While three questions are a bit lot 
While I would like to go into this topic (and prior research done) in depth, lets first put an english gtranslation link of your link for our fellow readers to be able to enjoy:

It would really help if you told the name & the location of the castle in your picture.
What I can say at a first shot, if you want to stay connected to the German language: The swallowtail battlements were more a decorative feature, and somehow a mark (maybe heraldry) of the Guelphs and Ghibellines (Welfen) of Baden-Würtemberg / Stuttgart region, but active in now South-Tirol and North-Italy. Back then (when) there were no such things, as outlined in another post: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I only find mentions of castles in these regions, not north of the alps. If you have references, please share them!
I still don't quite get the connection to the german language? South-Tyrol and North-Italy are not _exactly Central Europe, but that depends on what map of which time you are looking at.
The plants are indeed an interesting question. I was looking into so called "Burggartenflüchtlinge (Castle Garden Refugees)" a while ago. The seeds spread outside of the castle garden of course and specimen can be found until today. Some of them were "imports", neophytes of some kind.
So are you referring to the castle garden plants? Because, these can be easily located and dated (by a fair amount) by looking up botanical Herbariæ databases, like this one:

P.s.: But sorry, I have to add this, most experts of botany abstain from identifying plants in medieval manuscripts before a certain time, for a good reason: impossible.
Good Luck!
