    Hiking

    Film history was written at Falkenstein Castle.
    In 2015, Fritz Fuchs and his dog Cookie chased “The Ghost of Greifenklau” through the corridors. Things got exciting in 1980 in the Police Call 110 episode “The Discovery”, and in 2001 the film emperor Otto I rode in the big MDR production “History of Central Germany”.

    The Sachsenspiegel from the 13th century is the first German law book. It was written by Eyke von Repgow at the request of Count Hoyer von Falkenstein.
