History

Professor Vierling was on the search for a location for its laboratories, lain central. The choice fell on a mountain with the Flurnamen "“flint"”. The design of a castle corresponded to the picture of Frankish Switzerland and also for camouflage reasons was selected. During the war it was as camouflaged (red cross from bricks at the roof), after end of war it immediately was left, old structural drawings and documents destroyed. A Relikt from the construction period is the today's wine cellar, in former times an accessible Safe with 10 cm of strong steel door. The attraction of the castle proceeds not from a medieval origin, but from the building history of wartime and its recent age.

The castle was constantly extended by sleep space cultivations, Speisesaal, leisure-time facilities (skittle-alley, table tennis, Volleyball, hard place, sports field), conference areas, campgrounds, agriculture, riding stable, sail airfield and other one. 1961 were inaugurated the church "“clarifying Christi"”. It consists of three church rooms, the crypt, the Unterkirche and the upper church. Today castle presents itself flint as modern youth club in the heart of the Bamberg.
