背景には左にMühlburg、右にBurg Gleichen

ヴァッセンブルクは、「ドライ・グライヒェン」（ミュールベルク城、グライヒェン城）の中で最も保存状態の良い城です。この状態は、その歴史的実体の多くを奪った一連の「修復」と改築によるものです。最もひどい建築上の罪の一つは、1905年に展望塔としてゴシック様式の城塞の形で建てられた門と歩兵通路のある「ホーエンローエ塔」です。 要塞は10世紀半ば、標高421メートルのヴァッセンベルクに城郭のような構造物として建設されました。その後、所有者は頻繁に変わりました。15世紀末に城は衰退し始めました。1651年からは、ゴータ公エルンスト・ピエタスが再建し、深さ93メートルの井戸で水の供給を確保しました。1859年に城の軍事的地位は廃止され、訪問者に開放されました。

Beautiful view of the castle

Robber's castle or "Alteburg" 🏰 Legendary ruin from the High Middle Ages ⚔️ The so-called "robber's castle", which is the subject of several legends from the Thuringian Forest, is also often referred to as "Alteburg". The ruin is a rectangular fortification from the High Middle Ages that served to protect the former trade route from Erfurt across the Thuringian Forest to southern Germany. The rampart in the east, remnants of the ring wall (reconstructed), the cistern and the moat are still preserved today. The castle was probably built in 1150 by the Counts of Käfernburg. The name "robber's castle" seems to be based on the fact that the complex passed into the possession of robber barons several times during various battles in the 13th century. The ruins are a popular tourist destination. It is located on the western spur of the Arlesberg in Gräfenroda between Dörrberg and Geschwenda on the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest, above the Erfurt-Oberhof-Suhl railway line, which runs through the valley of the Wild Gera.
