A Day at Medieval Castle: We follow Eberhard von Münzenberg as he goes about his daily routine.
The 'castellan,' or governor of the castle, serves as an administrator, tax collector, and leader of the castle guards all at once. We gain firsthand insight into the bustling daily life of a castle administrator in the Middle Ages.
Discover the challenges and responsibilities that awaited Eberhard as he managed the affairs of the castle, interacted with its residents, and navigated the complexities of medieval governance. This historical journey promises to transport you to a bygone era, offering a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of life in 13th-century Münzenberg Castle.

I lived in Germany, in Bavaria. For an American, it's incredible how much history intertwines with current daily life in Europe. My son's pediatrician's offices were located next to the ancient Landsberg city walls. We listened to strong quartets play in Gothic churches, worked in a Schloss complete with a dungeon last used by the Nazis.

@@angelikashipman3260 Absolutely! I have a firm belief that young people from the US need to travel, perhaps live for a while in other countries. It can, and maybe should, be on the cheap. Experiencing another culture opens ones heart and minds to other's experiences. Although, being first generation Mexican American, I had spent much time in Mexico- living in Germany was revolutionary. The lands, people, art, having a baby, shopping in grocery stores, walking on old cobblestones all gave me a deeper connection with a world outside my own.

Great show! His position reminds me of when I was the production manager (#2 position) at a big manufacturing facility. My boss, the plant manager, was always gone at conferences or visiting corporate or whatever. My days were spent running around making sure every thing was running; machines, hourly employees, union employees, contractors, production schedules, entertaining visits by customers and vendors... Never a dull moment. Middle management is one of the toughest positions for sure, even back in the 13th century 😅

I grew up in an American castle built in the 1700's by a man named Norris. He was very wealthy and that's what he built. By the time we lived in it the library with a huge organ was taken down and was basically a big patio but it was a brilliant experience just living there. He built two large two story houses for his servants down the way a bit and my friends lived there.

@@stevovimy Well yea, I mean, of course. It was in the US. it obviously wasn't built by a medieval European lord for protection it was built by that Norris guy to live in in the 18th century. It was a castle though in the fact that it was built as a castle is built just that it didn't serve the purpose that a real castle does.

My ancestors were from Germany and came here in 1738 aboard the ship “The Thistle” arriving in Philadelphia in 1738. They are said to be from Schloss Berg/Burg on the upper Rhine River. We are supposedly from the castle there. We have quite a few family members that do genealogy, including myself. My maiden name is Funderburg which was originally vonderburg meaning “from the castle or from the mountain”. It’s interesting to see this.

This is an excellent dramatization of history. It's fictional, sure. But it's entertaining while still being informative. It's a good story with a protagonist you can feel for who has to overcome challenges and you learn a bit about medieval history. It doesn't hurt that the 10th to 13th centuries are my favorite part of European history.
