Featured Areas

Heidelberg Castle

Heidelberg castle is one of Europe's most famous and magnificent historical attractions. It was first brought down to ruins by Tilly's troops in 1622, and was rebuilt by Karl-Ludwig. A second siege destroyed the castle for the final time during the War of Succession in 1693. It lay in ruins for a while until a poet by the name of Wolfgang Muller von Konigswinter vied for its complete reconstruction, which unfortunately met certain backlashes from public meetings and the press.
