  • Burgen Auf Engem Raum. Aktion Und Reaktion Im Mittelalterlichen Burgenbau Und Das Problem Der Identifikation
    Olaf Wagener Burgen auf engem Raum. Aktion und Reaktion im mittelalterlichen Burgenbau und das Problem der Identifikation Zusammenfassung Anhand ausgewählter Beispiele kann aufgezeigt werden, dass zwei in unmittelbarer Nach- barschaft zueinander befindliche Burgen, die auf den ersten Blick dem Phänomen einer ‚Doppelburg‘ entsprechen, aus unterschiedlichen Gründen entstanden sein können. Dabei kann es sich um Vorgängeranlagen oder Vorbefestigungen handeln, aber die zweite Burg kann auch die Reaktion auf eine bereits existierende Anlage sein, beispielsweise in Form ei- ner Belagerungsburg. Das Verhältnis der beiden Burgen zueinander ist dabei nicht statisch, sondern kann sich aufgrund geänderter politischer Lagen kurzfristig und durchaus auch nur kurzzeitig verändern. Keywords: Belagerungsburg; Burgverlagerung; Vorwerk; Vorbefestigung; Vorgängeranla- ge; Nachbarburg Selected examples show how two castles directly adjacent to one another that at first sight would seem to correspond to the phenomenon of a “twin castle” may have different causes for their emergence. Previous installations or prefortifications may be the cause, or the sec- ond castle may also be the reaction to an already existing structure, for example in the form of a siege castle. The relationship of the two castles to one another is not static in this un- derstanding, but rather can change at short notice, or even only briefly, because of altered political circumstances. Keywords: siege castle; castle displacement; barbican; prefortification; predecessor castle; neighboring castle

  • Castles Along the Rhine; the Middle Rhine
    CASTLES ALONG THE RHINE; THE MIDDLE RHINE The Middle Rhine is between Mainz and Cologne (or Köln) but the section of maximum interest for river cruisers is between Koblenz and Rűdesheim. This section is where they keep some of Germany’s best kept medieval keeps - 20 of them, some ruins, some preserved, all surrounded by vineyards and with quaint medieval towns. Around every bend another stone edifice stands watch over the endless parade of freight barges and cruise boats. Each castle has its own spot in Germany’s medieval past. Your river cruise will spend at least an afternoon cruising this section with everyone on deck with a cup of bullion, tea, coffee or a beverage depending on the weather and the cruise director providing commentary on each castle/town you pass. The Rhine gorge castles are bracketed by Germanic / Prussian monuments. At the south end is Rűdesheim with the Niederwalddenkmal monument, commemorating the foundation of the German “Empire” after the Franco- Prussian War. The first stone was laid in 1871, by Wilhelm I. The 38m (123 ft) monument represents the union of all Germans. The central figure is a 10.5 m (34 ft) Germania holding the crown of the emperor in the right hand and in the left the imperial sword. Beneath Germania is a large relief that shows emperor Wilhelm I riding a horse with nobility, the army commanders and soldiers. On the left side of the monument is the peace statue and on the right is the war statue. At the north end in Koblenz is Deutsches Eck (German Corner) where the Mosel and Rhine Rivers meet.

  • Hiking Germany's Rhine Valley
    Hiking Germany’s Rhine Valley: A Cultural Journey May 9, 2022 – May 20, 2022 (trip# 2204) The Rhine bends sharply at the famous Lorelei cliff: Katz castle in the foreground The Rhine Valley: The Rhine is western Europe’s largest river. It flows the entire length of ​ Germany along its western border, from Switzerland to the Netherlands. For a millennia, boats and barges carrying merchandise have sailed up and down the Rhine. This led to the development of many small towns populated with charming half-timbered houses and gothic churches. On the river banks are dozens of castles, a greater concentration than found anywhere else in the world. The favorable climate and steep sides of the embankments led to the planting of extensive vineyards featuring Riesling as well as other wine varieties. 1 The area we will explore: Our focus is the portion of the ​ Rhine that starts in Mainz and continues to Koblenz. It is the “Romantic Rhine,” whose beauty was lauded by European poets (e.g. Lord Byron) and painters of the early 19th century. Famous is the song “The Lorelei” with lyrics ​ ​ by Heinrich Heine: a beautiful maiden sits atop the most dangerous bend in the river and lures boatmen to their doom by distracting them from their urgent duties. The Rhine valley’s unique landscape was recognized in 2002 by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. How we will hike: In general we will walk on the paths on ​ the eastern bank (“Rheinsteig”) but we will also ferry ​ ​ across the river as appropriate to examine points of interest on the western side.
