The Enchanting Lichtenstein Castle

History Today we look at the picturesque Lichtenstein Castle, located on a cliff overlooking the Echaz Valley in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The castle’s location adds to its fairy-tale appearance and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It remains a stunning example of the blend between literature and architecture, inspired by Wilhelm Hauff’s novel "Lichtenstein," and brought to life by Count Wilhelm of Württemberg between 1840 and 1842.

Hauff’s novel romanticized the ideals of medieval chivalry and heroism. The 19th century experienced a resurgence in interest in medieval history and architecture, a trend known as historicism. Count Wilhelm sought to create a physical embodiment of the novel's themes and settings. Neuschwanstein Castle itself was influenced by similar romantic and historicist ideals and a 2009 filming of "Dornröschen" - The Sleeping Beauty - further cemented Lichtenstenstein's place in popular culture. The family of the Dukes of urach which began when Wilhem was granted the title maintains ownership to this day. The castle serves both as a private residence for the family and a public attraction, allowing visitors to explore its historical and architectural significance.

What You Will See When you visit, you'll find the striking castle keep, complete with turrets and battlements that offer fantastic views of the surrounding Echaz Valley. The interior of Lichtenstein Castle is adorned with period furnishings, weapons, and armor, providing visitors with a glimpse into the romanticized vision of medieval life. Guided tours are available.

having sturm der liebe thought again so. fürstenhof is literally a cursed place. everyone who goes there finds true hapiness but they can only keep it if they leave and never look back. you stay too long it will be taken away. you come back for more than a week it gets taken away. your family is still there. you miss them but you can't go back. you try everything to get you father out of there but the hotel is all he knows. you go to that place, find hapiness, take it and leave as fast you can. don't look back. everyone you left behind is lost.

Giftabwehr bei Hofe

von Tom Wolf Wollte ein gottvergessener Fürstenmörder sein Gift sicher an den Mann bringen, nutzte er am besten die hochherrschaftliche Küche: Fleischfarcen, Pasteten und Getränke waren bevorzugte Schleichwege für „Erbschaftspuder“, „Marschierpulver“ und „Thronfolgetropfen“. Meistens ließen sich über die Art und die Wirksamkeit des Giftstoffes nur Vermutungen anstellen – handelte es sich um…
