Rötteln is a place where the world of a medieval fortress has been unusually well preserved, from the imposing walls to the touching details of everyday life. Rötteln is therefore particularly worth taking a second and third look at the hidden treasures.

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

Great and very large castle complex. The entrance fee for the Oberburg is definitely worth it. In the outer ward there is currently a fairly priced beer garden with self-service.

Both towers of the upper castle can be climbed. There is a great view towards Lake Constance (to the Säntis) or towards Basel (Swiss Jura). Current admission (July 2024): adults €3.50, children and other groups of people different.

When the weather is clear, the Swiss Alps are also clearly visible.

For me the castle is somehow something very special about Lörrach and I really enjoy being there. I don't really know why that is the case. Somehow it has a very special flair and I really like it😍.

Great view from the castle

The nice thing about the castle is the great view of the plain and the Vosges, the castle itself is barely there, there is only an inner courtyard.
