The Runneburg Castle was transferred to the Thuringian Palaces and Gardens Foundation, headquartered in Rudolstadt, in 1996. That same year, the Landgrafen-Schenke tavern opened, and the Runneburg Operating Company Weißensee mbH was founded. To commemorate the siege of the castle by Emperor Otto IV, a large replica trebuchet was constructed starting in 1996. It was successfully tested on June 1, 1997, with a stone being thrown over the town's allotment gardens. On August 11, 1999, the day of the total solar eclipse, a fireball was launched from the trebuchet for the first time. In 1998, historian Michael Kirchschlager discovered the Weißensee Purity Law of 1434 for brewing beer (hops, malt, and water) in the Weißensee Historical Archive at Runneburg Castle. In December 1999, the first beer brewed according to the Weißensee Purity Law (Runneburger 1434er) was tasted at the castle. However, in 2010 the association ceased its activities at Runneburg Castle. The restaurant and museum were closed. The trebuchet had already been sold in 2009. [3] (Source: Wikipedia)
