Tips
Little is known about the origins of Beilstein, but it is assumed that it was a castle settlement that developed at the foot of the castle hill in the High Middle Ages. Around 1150 a Dietrich von Beilstein is mentioned, in 1231 a Count Berthold von Beilstein appears. Excavation finds suggest that the first Romanesque fortifications were built around 1070–1080.
Beilstein was already mentioned as a town in 1304.
The city suffered heavily during the 30 Years' War, in which it was looted and burned down several times.translated by
