Kunitzburg Castle is a picturesque castle ruin perched on a hill above the Kunitz district of Jena. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this historic site offers fascinating insights into regional history and medieval architecture.

The ruins of Lobdeburg Castle are among the most impressive and best-preserved Romanesque secular buildings in Thuringia. They are also among the most important cultural monuments in the territory of the independent city of Jena and represent an important local recreation destination for the people of the surrounding area.

From down here you have a great view of the Dornburg Castles and the panoramic path directly in front of them.

Very nice, well-kept grounds and completely different stem styles.

Gleißberg Castle, now mostly called Kunitzburg after the Jena district of Kunitz below, is the ruins of a hilltop castle at 325 m above sea level. NN (foundation walls) five kilometers northeast of the city at the northern end of the so-called "horseshoe". This is formed by the Jenzig and the steep Großer Gleisberg, which projects west into the Saale Valley. The ruins belong to the Kunitz corridor, but the border with the Golmsdorf corridor runs a few meters down the slope. Source: Wikipedia

Lobdeburg was first mentioned in 1166. The castle was most likely built by the Lords of Auhausen, appointed by the emperor as ministerials, who named the castle after the town of Lobeda. One reason for this was probably the good experiences that the emperor had already had with other ministerials in the area who belonged to the family group. Shortly afterwards, the branch of the family that lived here called itself “von Lobedeburg”. The construction of the castle was completed in 1185. As a result of the Vogtland War of 1354–57, the imperial rule of the Lobdeburgers came under the suzerainty of the Wettins in 1358. In 1450, Duke Wilhelm of Saxony conquered the castle in the Saxon Civil War. The Puster family owned the castle until 1591. The complex then began to fall into disrepair and the stones were used, among other things, to build the Saale Bridge near Burgau. Source: Wikipedia
