In the 11th/12th century, the Zähringers built a castle on this site to protect the Kinzig Valley. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded to include defense towers. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was destroyed twice. In the 18th century, the current castle was built in the English style on the ruins of the old castle. Today, there is a youth hostel and a wine-producing farm here.

A court linden tree was a single, very old tree near the town. This was where the Thing, a council meeting, was held, where justice was also dispensed.

This historic building is in an exposed location between Kinzig and the hills of the Black Forest and offers beautiful views - it is also an eye-catcher itself.

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.....

Finds and excavations indicate that as early as Roman times there was a watchtower on the hill at the site of today's castle ruins. The castle probably dates from the early 12th century and was built by the Lords of Staufen. Adalbert von Staufen built the castle house around 1100. Staufen Castle was explicitly mentioned for the first time in a document from 1248; However, the Üsenbergers, referred to in this context as landlords, never sat in the castle.[2] In the 14th century, a lack of money and unsuccessful feuds between the Lords of Staufen and the nearby city of Freiburg meant that Freiburg was able to gain influence over Staufen Castle.[3] SOURCE: Wikipedia

Worth seeing monastery ruins. In summer, the ruins serve as a theater backdrop.

Breathtaking view over the Rhine Valley.
