Well-preserved castle complex in Bad Neustadt. Since the castle is privately owned, many parts can only be visited during a guided tour.

The "bit by bit" presentation of information at different stations of the themed trail makes the food more digestible.
Well done!

History

Early Middle Ages

The Salzgau around Neustadt was already very important under the Carolingians, and a palace was even built, which Emperor Otto III gave to the diocese of Würzburg in the year 1000. This palace was probably located on the site of the present-day village of Salz or in the immediate vicinity. A protective castle for the population of the surrounding area was probably only built on the nearby Veitsberg in the Ottonian period because of the Hungarian invasions. In place of today's Salzburg there was probably a rampart of unknown date. This defensive structure could also have been expanded into a Hungarian refuge in the first half of the 10th century.

The first written mention of Salzburg is in a document from Emperor Louis the Pious copied around 1160 in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg (K425. Kodex Eberhardi, fol. 82r and v). The original document is lost and could have been written by the copyist, the monk Eberhard from the Fulda monastery.
