Salzburg Castle
Salzburg Castle (german: Burg Salzburg) stands on the edge of a plateau above the town of Bad Neustadt an der Saale in Lower Franconia in southern Germany. The large ''Ganerbenburg'' (jointly inherited castle) is still partly occupied today and not all areas are accessible to the public. Location The castle was built about a kilometre east of Bad Neustadt on the western end of the plateau above Neuhaus and is separated from the land in front of it by a roughly 160-metre-long neck ditch. Until the 19th century the whole hillside was cleared and was used as early as the High Middle Ages for viticulture. The present, thickly wooded ridge on which the castle stands is also the site of the extensive Franconian Clinic ( Rhön-Klinikum AG), which dominates the landscape. History Early Middle Ages By the Carolingian era, the Salzgau around Neustadt was already very important. An imperial palace (''Pfalz'') was even built here; it was given to the Bishopric of Wurzburg in 10 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ganerbschaft
A ''Ganerbschaft'' (plural: ''Ganerbschaften'' in German), according to old German inheritance law, was a joint family estate, mainly land, over which the co-heirs (''Ganerben'') only had rights in common. In modern German legal parlance it corresponds to a "community of joint ownership" (''Gesamthandsgemeinschaft'' or ''Gemeinschaft zur gesamten Hand''). History ''Ganerbschafts'' arose as a result of the simultaneous nomination of several co-heirs to the same estate; this occurred mainly in the Middle Ages for reasons of family politics. Subject of such legal relationships was usually a jointly-built or conquered castle or palace, which was then referred to as a ''Ganerbenburg'' ("common inheritance castle"). The peaceful coexistence of the heirs, the rules by which they lived daily, side by side, and the rights of use of common facilities were usually comprehensively regulated by so-called ''Burgfrieden'' agreements. ''Ganerbschaften'' were established in order to keep an imp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rothenberg Fortress
Rothenberg Fortress (german: Festung Rothenberg) is a fortress on the eponymous hill, 588 m, near Schnaittach in the Franconian Jura. Beginnings The first fortifications were probably built between 1300 and 1330 by Dietrich von Wildenstein. He sold it in 1360 to the emperor and Bohemian king, Charles IV, who had the fort upgraded into a border castle in order to protect his Bohemian allodial estate. ''Ganerbenburg'' In 1478, Count Palatine Otto II set the condition for Rothenberg Castle to become a joint-fief or '' Ganerbenburg''. 44 co-vassals who, together with the town of Rothenberg and market town of Schnaittach, acquired the castle as a so-called mesne fief or ''Afterlehen'', were given relatively little property and few rights, but the community of co-vassals formed a strong alliance to which other members of noble families in the area could be attached. The castle also had several rights of patronage in the Nuremberg area. The community of co-vassals had the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
