Finds show that the Celts settled on the castle hill over 2000 years ago. Evidence of the "more recent" history of Neuenbürg Castle only dates back to around the year 1000. Various families of counts, including the Counts Palatine of Tübingen, the Counts of Calw-Vaihingen, the Counts of Eberstein, the Margraves of Baden and the Counts of Württemberg, determined the fate and history of the picturesque old Neuenbürg Castle. The castle (today's rear castle ruins) was probably founded by the Counts of Vaihingen in the 11th century. The Counts of Württemberg acquired the castle around 1320 and built an official residence for the town, which already belonged to them, and the surrounding villages. This was followed in 1572 by a conversion of the rear castle into a fruit store (here a granary and wine store). During the Thirty Years' War in 1634, the castle was plundered, and in 1638 the north wing burned down due to the carelessness of a Bavarian ensign. Neuenbürg Castle consists of the old "rear castle", of which only the remains of the castle with walls up to 3 meters thick remain as ruins, and the current new castle built by Duke Christoph of Württemberg around 1650, which was built using older parts of the building. At the end of the 17th century, the dilapidated rear castle was sold and the bricks were used to rebuild the town of Neuenbürg, which had been destroyed in a major fire in 1783. Despite several attempts, Neuenbürg never became a ducal residence, and the honored princes Duke Magnus (1594-1622) and Duke Ulrich (1617-1671) were not lured to the Black Forest province. Neuenbürg Castle was always only the seat of authorities and offices and was inhabited by ducal officials. Until 2004, the State Forestry Office was housed in Neuenbürg Castle. From 1940 onwards, the castle rooms housed apartments and a painter's studio. Since 2001, Neuenbürg Castle has housed a branch museum of the Baden State Museum.

The castle ruins behind the castle garden are normally locked, but can be rented through the castle administration. https://www.schloss-neuenbuerg.de/

The monument honors Grand Duke Karl Friedrich (1728-1811), who was a pioneer of his time with his long reign of 65 years and his reform efforts.

Unfortunately it is still scaffolded at the moment... so a visit to the top is not possible

The historic old town of Ettlingen impresses with its narrow streets, beautiful cafés and historic houses next to modern city architecture. Ettlingen Castle rises in the middle of the old town, the oldest parts of which go back to a medieval castle that was converted into a representative Renaissance complex in the 16th century. Ettlingen is always worth a visit.

The gateway to the northern Black Forest with its old town, the many cafés, the town hall square, the castle, the stock of well-kept old half-timbered houses, the gastronomy (especially the Vogelbräu brewery) and many other highlights are a must-see. Even the longest journey is worthwhile. Of course there is also an excellent hotel business, --- and castle festivals, the Alb, the Bismarkturm and and.....

Great facility, with shade, a museum and a good view of the valley

The Grand Duke Karl Friedrich Monument stands in Karlsruhe's Palace Square. In his right hand, the Grand Duke holds the document dated July 23, 1783, abolishing serfdom in Baden. The grand ducal coat of arms from 1807 to 1830 is displayed on the pedestal. The four female figures at each corner of the pedestal represent Old Baden, the region along the Main and Neckar rivers, the Black Forest (to the left), and the Lake Constance region (to the right). https://ka.stadtwiki.net/Gro%C3%9Fherzog-Karl-Friedrich-Denkmal
