    The ongoing conflict between the Electors of Trier and the Counts of Katzenelnbogen can be seen in the Bug “Katz”, which can only be viewed from the outside, as well as in its counterpart, the “Maus” Castle. The castle in St. Goarshausen, which was actually built in 1371 as Neu-Katzenelnbogen Castle, was given the popular name “Katz”. The Counts of Katzenelnbogen wanted to use it to protect their possessions on the Rhine and in particular the customs office in St. Goar opposite - as well as consciously setting a counterweight to the “Maus” castle in Electorate, which threatened their customs clearance.
