"...Then we cycle to Röttingen. In the small town, the sidewalks are completely rolled up. Only the post office and the baroque town hall are open. The medieval Brattenstein Castle sits high above. The "Frankenfestspiele Röttingen" are held here regularly..." Find out more about our wonderful bike tour on the Romantic Road: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/romantische-strasse-radweg/

The festival in Röttingen takes place at Brattenstein Castle.

The east wing of Brattenstein Castle was rebuilt in 2017/2018 using urban development funding from the Bavarian State Foundation and the town of Röttingen. Brattenstein Castle was first mentioned in 1230. On November 5, 1971, the east wing of the castle collapsed. A memorial plaque was unveiled in memory of the dead and injured on that day of the disaster. This is what First Mayor Martin Umscheid wrote on June 6, 2018.

In the large hunting and knights' hall, several animal sculptures protrude from the wall. The elephant with its slightly frightened look and striking proportions is particularly striking, although the artist modelled the elephant purely on descriptions.

Frankenfestspiele Röttingen At the beginning of the 1980s, the well-known theater maker Veit Relin, who was already working in Sommerhausen at the time, was looking for a new festival venue. He found one in the European city of Röttingen. Thanks to the then mayor Günter Rudolf, who made the courtyard of Brattenstein Castle available for the theater plays, the foundation stone was laid for our now well-known open-air theater.

The Palace Park: The section of the historic palace park, designed in the style of Versailles, ends in the south with the orangeries, where potted plants overwinter and exotic plants find shelter. The eastern orangery is open to visitors. There you will find, for example, lemon and orange trees. Many statues can be seen in the palace park. The more delicate ones are wrapped up in winter to protect them from the elements. To the north, towards the palace, the park ends with the so-called Dwarf Avenue. The western part is an orchard where old fruit varieties thrive. The eastern part is now the public city park. The Palace: Spared from major fires and wartime destruction, the palace, now owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg, is a former moated castle dating back to the 12th century. There is an entrance fee for the palace and palace gardens. Access to the palace is only possible with a guided tour. The faithfully restored interiors can be visited as part of a guided tour that starts hourly, which is highly recommended. You can also take photos during the tour (without flash). More information here: https://www.schloss-weikersheim.de/ The longer tour, which costs only a little more, also takes you to rooms with furnishings that are unparalleled in Europe. Only the castle kitchen is accessible without a guided tour. There you will find a fascinating exhibition on alchemy. Attempts were also made to produce gold and silver in Weikersheim.
