Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

August 30, 2022

The oldest view of Thierstein Castle comes from the Selber chronicle by Magister Paul Reinel from 1612. The cartographer Johann Christoph Stierlein (1759-1827) made a carefully drawn topographical view. Another historical view was created almost at the same time by the Hof high school director Johann Theodor Benjamin Helfrecht in 1795. The various depictions document, among other things, the gradual deterioration of the complex, but they also allow conclusions to be drawn about the earlier appearance of the castle. The ruins of the castle, visible from afar, are a popular tourist destination. From the viewing platform of the preserved 24 meter high keep you can enjoy an all-round view of the entire interior of the Fichtelgebirge as far as the Egerland. At the moment, August 2022, the castle is closed due to construction work.
