The castle Salzburg is controlling because of the edge of a Hochebene over bath new city to the Saale in Lower Franconia. The large Ganerbenburg is inhabited today still partly and is not accessible not in all ranges.

History

Already under the Karolingern the salt gau around new city very much meaning, it was even a Pfalz was put on, which in the year 1000 by emperor Otto IIITH to the diocese peppering castle was given away. This Pfalz probably was on the close Veitsberg, in the place of the today's castle might a barrier plant of unknown quantity time position have been.

The bishops removal those Salzburg in the consequence for the administrative center salt gau, it developed one Ansitz each for the Vogt and Schult-hot, starting from 1220 five further castle man seats were inserted. The Salzburg is a good example of a planned Ganerbenburg, which became control of the enormous castle thus in a well-conceived way not into the hands of a only one, powerful Vasallen given, which could sometime become dangerous that leaning gentlemen. The Burgmannen was recruited from the surrounding service aristocracy, around 1258 sat for instance the Fieger (late Voit of Salzburg), Brende, hay-faithfully, Lebenhan, oak living and Hollstadt on the Veste.

As on other Ganerbenburgen it came also on that Salzburg to some conflicts between the castle inhabitants, portions was left or sold.

The farmer war the castle got over with only small damage, around 1580 was however a comprehensive reorganization necessary. In the following centuries three of the gene inheriting seats up to remainders, of two disappeared became ruins. Completely received only the former Ansitz is the Voite of Salzburg, which is inhabited today by the barons von Guttenberg.

In 18. and 19. One inserted some farmhouses and auxiliary buildings to century, some parts of Jewish families was temporarily inhabited.

1841 were finally replaced the lategothical castle chapel by a large, again-Roman new building.

Description

The large castle plant consisted formerly of seven independent small castles within common, about 410 meters is enough for Ringmauer. The total area amounts to approximately a hectare.

The today's surrounding wall was built to a large extent already 1190 and probably follows the process of an older barrier attachment. This first Ringmauer was originally strengthened only by a gate and a small toilet tower.

The today's gate tower developed in the course of the development of the important castle starting from 1220. Beside the castle chapel it was possession as owner leaning gentlemen, thus the of bishop. In the kind of a large donjon it should possibly serve more than building of representations and power symbol, its military fitness of the modern castle research (Zeune) rather than is small classified. The main gate is is arranged unusually rich. The of the Rundbogens locked by a jaggedly broken staff, before-dazzled is a further elbow with a verzierten To increase the building of gates later a and a Barbakane submitted by the Wehrhaftigkeit.

The two original castle man seats were - to the Ringmauer cultivated - west and east the gate tower. The western Ansitz is disappeared, here is perfectly today the castle Schenke.

After 1220 further five Ansitze were put on within the Ringmauer. The bishop wanted strategically particularly to obviously distribute power within the large, castle plant important against the counts von Henneberg on a larger number of Burgmannen.

For the reinforcement of the eastern side one established three square wall towers, which - just like the gate tower - outward protrude.

The Ganerbensitze

Because of the southwest point is that, nor former seat of the Voite of Salzburg inhabited. Here the high, Roman donjon falls in the eye as the first. That about 27 meters high tower will surround by living and utilizable's buildings, those directly to the Ringmauer is cultivated and in 20. Century were changed.

The remainders of the Brende' Ansitzes rise east next door. Beside a Roman apartment tower (antlers tower) is here the ruin of the former hall multi-storey building of interest. This, "“"” building mentioned and zweigeschossige is considered as one of the high points of the earlygothical everyday architecture of Franconia. Over the rundbogigen entrance the two-piece of the hall projectile kept, each field opens in three pointed elbows on two slim columns, over it lies per two broken through

East the donjon of the third Ansitzes knocks against the "“"”. This Roman building of right parallelepipeds might have been somewhat higher formerly. Rear the ruin of a housing and a restored apartment tower are because of the Ringmauer.

The fourth castle man seat exhibits only remainders of the rear residential zone and the conclusion wall against the Burghof, into the outside wall inserted is the good-received "“prison tower"”.

The three other small castles disappeared up to remainders and by a house and the restaurant were partly replaced later.

The entire plant can be umwandert along the Ringmauer, the Burghof is freely accessible, the totally or partly received castle man seats is to be visited however only from the outside.
