      Marksburg is the only hilltop castle along the Rhein that wasn’t completely destroyed at one point.

      Your drawing lookds great, the list is allright but some names are wrong. Also there is no historical setting for your list. FYI: Whenever there is a “burg” at the end of the castle’s name, pls ditch the “Castle” on your map.

      Edit: For example: Burg Eltz’s foundation is from the 12th century, Neuschwanstein’s late 19th century. Most of the castles near the Rhine are 19th century tourist attractions, built on medieval foundations.

      Edit, edit: should be “the Wartburg”, german “die Wartburg”.

      If it’s a map, it’s gonna need more to fill the northern part (Plattenburg, Alte Bischofsburg, Burg Stargard for example)

    5. EmbarrassedBadger922 on

      Altes Schloss Stuttgart

      Burg Breuberg

      Burg Guttenberg

      Burg Berwartstein

      Burg Trifels

      Burg Teck

      Hochburg Emmendingen

      Burg Ortenberg

      Leuchtenburg

      Schloss Marienburg

      I was at Schloss Burg (Burg Castle) once, many years ago, and it was kinda cool. They did a lot of reconstruction, but it is not entirely faithful to the “original” since it was destroyed quite often. It is also quite touristy from what I know.

      I would argue that Neuschwanstein doesn’t belong on a list of castles, as it isn’t a castle, but a castle-themed palace, which makes it about as much castle as the one in Disneyland.

      The castle in Friedberg is really interesting, it’s one of the largest castle complexes in germany and there’s even a school in it nowadays.

      I’m visited there some time back.

      If it doesn’t include Neuschwanstein I’m coming to your house and stealing all of your pencils! I’ll bring them back if you add in the church and castle at Idar-Oberstein.
