Homburg Castle For cyclists in the Main Valley, the view of the tuff rocks is always worth a photo stop with a “saddle break”. Homburg am Main Castle presents itself as a historical painter's corner that can be found with great regularity on calendars and in the relevant travel literature about Franconia. In fact: the architectural and historical landmark of the well-known wine-growing community on the eastern Mainviereck is one of the most famous monuments among the palaces and castles in Franconia. Homburg Castle has been municipally owned since 1869. The Triefenstein market as the current owner had to make a lot of efforts to save the half-timbered building from decay.

Wertheim is a coherent overall package. Strolling through the narrow streets and enjoying the medieval charm of the city is well worth it.

It's always nice. Unfortunately, don't come that often to get to know it better.

Steep approach with a great view. And on the forum with the wine queens who opened the wine hiking days.

Wertheim Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1183 and was "extended from the upper castle to a spacious castle complex in several construction periods until it was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. The keep (around 1200) and the palace from the second third of the 13th century are still standing from the upper castle. Another residential building adjoins the Palas, in which the remains of an older complex have been preserved."[1] The city was a "planned foundation at the foot of the castle [...] The construction of the city fortifications must have started around 1200 be; it finally enclosed the castle and town with a ring of walls.

From the Tauber Bridge you have a very nice view of the castle and town hall.

Wertheim was probably in the 8th/9th Founded Century. The name of the two-river city is derived from Werder meaning island or elevation in a river.[18] The interpretation of the place name in terms of value has been common since the early 17th century, as in the Wertheim representation in Daniel Meisner's Thesaurus philopoliticus (1623). The first documented mention of Wertheim (whether left or right Mainisch is unclear) took place from 750 to 802 / 779/94 (?). Count Kunibert transfers Eigen zu Wertheim, Biscoffesheim, Kuffese, Rowilenheim, Heringesheim and Kamerdinge to the Fulda monastery (document no. 222, page 320 in the Fulda monastery document book). From the early 12th century, a branch of the Reginbodon family named itself after Wertheim. After the Counts of Wertheim built a castle (Wertheim Castle) to the left of the Main, on the right bank of the Tauber estuary, a new settlement developed below this dominating fortification, which was also given the name Wertheim. In 1192 it was first mentioned as "Suburbium castri Wertheim", around 1200 it was called "oppidum" and in 1244 it was called "civitas". From 1355 to 1373 the town was ruled by Count Eberhard von Wertheim. In 1363, Wertheim received a document under his aegis for the coinage regime because, according to the document, he supported Emperor Charles IV with "steady trewe and diligent service (...) often without hesitation".[19] During this time, the Count of Wertheim placed the entire county under Emperor Charles IV. The Emperor returned the county to the Count as a fief of the Bohemian Empire. This bondage to Bohemia made the Wertheim counts confidants of the monarchy. The last count of Wertheim was Michael III. He married the eldest daughter of Count Ludwig zu Stolberg, Katharina. Since there was no male descendant from this marriage, the noble family died out and Ludwig zu Stolberg came into the possession of the County of Wertheim. After his death in 1574, the county passed to another son-in-law, Count Ludwig von Löwenstein
