story

Before Landskron Castle was built, there was probably a Salic or Hohenstaufen fortification on the same site, which was owned by King Henry V and destroyed in 1118 by troops of Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz.

The castle itself was probably built in the early 13th century. The oldest surviving written mention of the "Reichsburg Oppenheim" comes from 1244. This castle was destroyed in 1257 and 1275 by the citizens of Oppenheim in a dispute with the Burgmannen over their privileges. However, Rudolf von Habsburg forced the citizens to rebuild the castle by 1281. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV pledged the castle to Ruprecht von der Pfalz. Accordingly, Ruprecht had the castle expanded. He was succeeded by his grandson Ruprecht III. as the owner of the castle, who also died there. In 1615, Elector Frederick V had the castle rebuilt like a palace.

The castle burned down in the Thirty Years' War during the town fire in Oppenheim

The ruins of Landskron Castle are now an open-air backdrop for the city of Oppenheim's theater festival and for summer concerts, as well as the starting and ending point of a wine trail. Every year in the first half of May there is also a medieval market and Spectaculum of the city of Oppenheim. Every year it is a special event for young and old. From the castle ruins you have a view over the entire Bergstrasse

with the 517 meter high Melibokus im

Odenwald, Worms with the Worms Cathedral, Ludwigshafen am Rhein with the BASF industrial area and

Mannheim with the telecommunications tower. If you also use binoculars, you can even see Hornisgrinde in the Black Forest, 140 kilometers away

spot.
