Originally a Celtic refuge, then the Romans arrived, and in the 12th century, a castle was built. It came into the possession of the Electorate of the Palatinate around 1300 and was then intended as a refuge for the ruler and his entourage from Heidelberg in case of emergency. The people of Dilsberger were granted town-like rights and, in return, were obliged to provide accommodations in case of emergency. With the dissolution of the Electorate of the Palatinate in 1803, the castle came into the possession of the state of Baden. In 1822, the castle was approved for demolition.

The Gaisberg Tower in Heidelberg is a monument that stands at the transition from the small plateau of the high Gaisberg to the north-west slope. It was designed by the architect Fritz Seitz and built in 1876 by the Heidelberg Castle Association. Very nice to look at with a good view.

From Kornmarkt to Molkenkur there are modern carriages, from Molkenkur to Königstuhl you drive in a nostalgic carriage.

Historical technical masterpiece that saves the steep ascent.

The Heidelberg mountain railway is a combination of two funicular railways. The "Molkenkurbahn" runs from the Kornmarkt, past Heidelberg Castle, to the Molkenkur. There you change to the "Königstuhlbahn". The upper mountain railway is the oldest funicular railway in Baden-Württemberg. In 2004, the upper mountain railway was entered in its entirety as a cultural monument in the monument book of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

The trees in front of the tower were recently "trimmed" - you now have a nice view of the Rhine plain again. Addendum 1/24: The Gaisberg Tower was built from the remains of the "Trutzkaiser" - a defensive structure destroyed in the 30 Years' War that once stood further down the Gaisberg.

Unfortunately the train was closed. But it has to be a mega experience.

The Heidelberg Castle Association built the tower in 1876 and it was renovated twice in 1926/27 and 2003/04. Care was taken to ensure that the tower is safe to walk on and that the carefully stacked dry masonry is preserved.
