バイエルンの森の洞窟・トップ20

A beautiful and well-preserved ruin. Signs on the walls indicate its former function. From the palace there is a beautiful view of the complex and the surrounding area.

In 1347, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian had Schellenberg Castle, which was then called "Lug ins Land", built to protect against attacks from Bohemia. On July 12, 1498, the castle was stormed under the leadership of Captain Konrad von Wirsberg, who was in the service of the Margrave of Brandenburg. The castle was partially destroyed. Their owner, Knight Moritz von Guttenberg, was captured. The castle was never rebuilt.

Kürnberg Castle Ruins The Kürnberg ruins are hidden on a wooded hill about a kilometer northeast of Stamsried. The Kürners originally come from the town of Kürn, which lies between Regensburg and Nittenau. In 1346, Dietrich II received Stamsried as a fief from Count Palatine Ruprecht II and subsequently shifted the focus of his rule there. The land probably originally belonged to the Bishop of Bamberg, whose bailiffs were the Palatines in this area. In 1354, Dietrich received permission to build Kürnberg Castle on the Heitberg near Stamsried, and from then on he and his descendants called themselves Kürner von Kürnberg. They sold their home castle to the Paulsdorfers in 1394. Other Kürners subsequently appeared again and again as cathedral canons in Regensburg. In 1422, Hans Kürner was the last person to live in Kürnberg. He sold the castle to Ulrich Warberger in 1423. In 1499, the castle came to Ludwig von Habsberg, who had it expanded once again for the use of firearms. In 1532, the Murachers took over, but they later stopped living in Kürnberg. In 1634, during the Thirty Years' War, the Swedes conquered Stamsried and besieged and destroyed the castle. Since then, it has been abandoned, and the seat of power has moved to Strahlfeld. At the end of the 1970s, extensive security measures were taken on the castle ruins. Kürnberg is one of the most recently founded castles in the wider area. Its state of preservation is rare in the Upper Palatinate: extensive remains of the walls of the gate tower, battery tower, wall, chapel, wall towers and palace have been preserved. There is no keep, which is typical of a castle of the late Middle Ages. The tower-like palace took over the role of the last point of refuge. The beautiful location, the unique view from the palace and the good state of preservation make Kürnberg an ideal destination. The area is ideal for hikes, and a forest adventure trail leads around the castle hill. There is a fireplace in the courtyard of the outer bailey. Source: www.burgenseite.de
