Northern Black Forest
The Northern Black Forest (german: Nordschwarzwald) refers to the northern third of the Black Forest in Germany or, less commonly today, to the northern half of this mountain region. Geography The Northern Black Forest is bounded in the north by a line from Karlsruhe to Pforzheim and, in the south, by a line running from the Rench valley to Freudenstadt. Its northern boundary largely coincides with the emergence of the extensively forested bunter sandstone strata from the arable region of the Kraichgau; its southern boundary with the Central Black Forest (or, in the case of a bipartite division, the Southern Black Forest) varies depending on the definition or natural regional division used (see also Black Forest). Earlier, the Northern Black Forest was the entire northern half of the mountain range as far as the Kinzig (Rhine), line of the Kinzig valley, which divides the Black Forest east of Lahr/Schwarzwald, Lahr. To the west it is bounded by the Upper Rhine Plain, to the east ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

County Of Eberstein
The County of Eberstein was a territory within the Holy Roman Empire, situated in the southwest of modern Germany. From 1085 up into the 13th century, the Counts of Eberstein lived in the castle known today as Alt Eberstein which lies on a mountain top between the valleys of the rivers Murg and Oos (in ''Ebersteinburg'', now an outlying district of Baden-Baden). They then moved to ''Neu Eberstein'', today known as ''Schloss Eberstein'', near Gernsbach. From 1085, the counts were ''Vögte'' of Reichenbach Priory. After the financial ruin of Wolf von Eberstein in 1387, half of the family possessions had to be sold to the Margraves of Baden. When the last male member of the family died in 1660, the remaining possessions were taken over by the bishopric of Speyer and by the duchy of Württemberg.
