In 1208, the Counts of Schwarzburg received the former imperial city of Saalfeld as a pledge. The tower castle Hoher Schwarm was hardly used as a residence, however; it was the home of the castle guards, members of the lower nobility, whose job it was to ensure law and order.

The Hohe Schwarm is the ruin of a castle in the Thuringian town of Saalfeld above the Saale. From the castle is still an impressive facade on the eastern edge of the old town preserved. Wikipedia

This landmark of the city has a controversial history. No one really knows what it should be, but it is clear that it was never completed and several builders have tried. Today, the site is used for celebrations and other events.
