At the heart of the western upper castle rises the Barbarossa Tower, a defensive and residential tower that once served as the lords' last refuge. Today, it houses two exhibitions on the history of the keep and the Kyffhäuser region's tradition of earthwork sculpture. Surrounded by partially preserved curtain walls, the foundations of the palace and kitchen building, and the historic Erfurt Gate, the world-famous deepest castle well in the world is located opposite the tower.

A relatively large amount of the castle gate and the tower has been preserved.

Beautiful spot, especially at sunset as you can look directly into the valley from there. A dream!!! 😎👍

According to this, Emperor Barbarossa sits asleep in the underground castle at a stone table

Ebersburg Castle lies on a porphyry cone on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains, north of the village of Herrmannsacker, at the western end of the Wetzel Valley, through which the Krebsbach stream flows. The ruins are dominated by its massive castle tower. With its still preserved height of 18 meters and its impressive wall thickness of 4.50 meters, it conveys an impression of strength, power, and durability. The castle was built in 1190 by Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally. The castle was built between 1180 and 1191 at the behest of Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally. It was the northernmost fortification of the Thuringian Empire and is today probably the only castle ruin in Germany that has been preserved as a complete, purely Romanesque structure.

Double chamber gate, really rare

Still good to see how it used to be
