In order to remedy this disadvantage in the case of defense, the 0.65 m to 0.80 m thick curtain wall on the inside of the outer bailey was reinforced with stone arcades. A wooden one was built on top of them Battlement. The circular wall is provided with shaft-shaped slots that become narrower towards the outside. Such embrasures are part of the expansion of the facility in the age of firearms. Protected by the narrow slits, the castle residents were able to defend themselves against attackers.

Gothic gatehouse The Gothic gate with an ogival passage and portcullis slot can be reached via the "modern" access causeway. In the Middle Ages the gate must have had a gatehouse. Based on the material (sandstone) and shape, the gate was probably only built in the 15th century. In the past, a free-standing wooden drawbridge structure would have provided access to the castle complex. Historical review: Documents from the years 1105 to 1182 testify to the existence of a noble family "von Hart" in the Euskirchen area. Rudolfus de Hart appears most frequently in the sources between 1118 and 1138. After the family died out, the castle fell to the Counts of Are around 1200 In 1246, the Hardtburg came into the possession of the Archbishop of Cologne with the Are-Hochstaden inheritance, where it remained until 1794. The. The Archbishops of Cologne expanded the complex into a powerful state castle, with the help of which the Electorate of Cologne's possessions and the transport routes on the northern edge of the Eifel were secured.

large rest area with shelter, benches with table and "forest music".
