Anyone who'd be wanting to attack the castle ALSO had to climb the mountain. The troops would constantly be exhausted, and they need supplies too ... Where else would you out a castle, than on top of the highest hill available? Also you'd see enemies approaching two days before they'd actually get there ...
As I assumed after your video of Lichtenstein castle, the Hohenzollern castle will be next. I've been there once as a child. At this time Friedrich II. of Prussia (also called 'Der Große' -> The Great or 'Der alte Fritz' -> 'The Old Fritz') was buried there in a tin coffin. If I recall it correctly his coffin stood in the chapel next to some other coffins of his ancestors. However, after the wall between West and East Germany was torn down he was reburied at his preferred palace 'Sancoussi' in Potsdam near Berlin. By the way, 'Sanssouci' and many other palaces and castles around Berlin are worth a visit too.
I also remember the coffin of the old german emperor Friedrich II standing in the chappel before 1990. Actually, they rescued it from the Russians in 1945 from Berlin and brought him back in 1990 for his final burial in Sanssouci, next to his dogs, and separate from his wife. The owner of the castle today is a smart guy and he would be german emperor, if there still would be one.
It seems to me after watching your 'Luck in a Cup' video, that you are living or residing somewhere in or around Essen. I grew up not far from Essen on the edge of the Ruhr Region to the 'Münsterland'. Have you ever been to the 'Münsterland'? There are several castles and palaces in that area. One examples is the Nordkirchen castle that is also called the 'Westphalian Versailles'. Others are the water castles Vischring, Lembeck and Raesfeld. Nordkirchen castle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordkirchen_Castle Vischering castle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vischering_Castle Raesfeld castle: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Raesfeld (unfortunately not in English, but German, Dutch, French, Italian etc.) Lembeck castle: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Lembeck (unfortunately not in English, but German, Italian etc.) A good online source for getting an impression about attractions and historical locations in Germany is provided by the site Kubische Panoramen ( www.kubische-panoramen.de ). It offers 360° views for all major German and also some Austrian, Swiss, French and Czech attractions. Outside and somtimes inside too.
Cool! We've been to Münster- we made a video there. I have seen some reference to some of these castles that others posted- if we have time in our schedules when the lockdown is over, we'll have to check them out.
Oh thats sounds so cool! It must be great with snow ❄ you are correct we filmed this around October. We both are students/work and with COVID there would be no way we could film, edit, and release a video every day, so many of these Christmas Countdown videos were filmed in the last 2 months. We will put your suggestion on our list! :)
@@EllieandLucas yay, nice to hear from you. So make sure you see the one in Sigmaringen and on your way home (I don't know where y'all live at the moment, but maybe take a few minutes out to see the one in Haigerloch too, cause these three all belong to the Hohenzollern family.
no reward without effort, that road up was so great, healthy
I did enjoy your video the view is spectacular.
I want a treasure room full of treasure! Beautiful church! So much history!
Yes this place was super cool, definitely in the top part of our favorites list

This castle is surely on my list to see. Thanks so much for doing yet another wonderful job as you performed your documentary. :)
Of course of course! Thanks for supporting us!
@@EllieandLucas You both are very welcome. I love your style :).
Immer schöne Abenteuer :)
Viele lieben Dank!
imagine taking all the rumble down to the village, and rebuilding it

I wish I got to know more about him! I also heard of similar castles owned by the family nearby. it is too bad we missed them

Wondering if you guys got to check out Castle Buresheim? It's about an hour from my house but haven't gotten to explore.
You'll have to wait and see!
Is this the castle from the film The worst witch?
we have never seen that film! According to Wikipedia, it was shot at a college, not at this castle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worst_Witch_(film)
This is home. But you took this video months ago, cause it's snowing here right now.
I hope you'll go see the one in Sigmaringen too.
