Neuerburg (castle)
The Neuerburg (german: Burg Neuerburg) is a castle and fortress in the western Eifel mountains in the Enzbach valley above the town of Neuerburg in the county of Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. After being restored from 1926 onwards, it has been used as a '' Jugendburg''. History The first definite record of the hillside castle was in 1132, when a Theoderic of Neuerburg witnessed a deed of gift. The castle was certainly older than that because, in 1270, the Count of Vianden and ''Herrschaft'' of Neuerburg were described as an old fief of his house, which he himself was enfeoffed with by the Count of Luxemburg. An older document about the second Norman invasion of 892 mentions a newly built castle into which the monks of Prüm Abbey fled. But this could refer to any one of several castles in the Eifel region. The importance of the castle is indicated by the fact that, in 1332, it gave town rights to the town located at its feet.
