Absolutely. We were there last year. It's really beautiful.

Which ones did you visit?

@@DWTravel Neueschwanstein and Linderhof :)

Hi Andy, thank you for sharing your memories with us 😀! Greetings to Melbourne

Neuschwanstein was not even one century old when I visited it with my parents as a child. I felt verarscht then, as the real castles around my hometown lay in ruins, but I already knew those ruins are ten times older. Burg Eltz is my favourite.

Heidelberg castle also has the charm as to how you get up to it by a cable car/tram from the town below.

We took the steps many times in Heidelburg. All 100 of them.

Agree…. The Neuschwanstein of the North has to be in this strange list

Genocidal Islamists, yeah!!

Was meinst du? Die Formulierung "down the Elbe river"? LG!

@@DWTravel Ja, genau. Ich bin kein native speaker, aber schließt down the river flußaufwärts ein?

That is Wewelsburg

There is a pretty cool video that Rick Steve's did about Martin Luther, while showing off the places that he was, and did things. I enjoyed it because you get to see beautiful towns, and castles while also learning the history associated with it. I believe people may even make pilgrimages, or tours that people do, to those places for those reasons. Similar to the Romantic Road tours but following the trail of Martin Luther.

Yes, he nailed his theses at the church portal in Wittenberg - but at Wartburg Castle in Eisenach he translated the bible into German.

@@DWTravelHe did not nail his theses anywhere. That was myth-making after the fact. He published them.

Kann man so nicht sagen. Die meisten unserer User leben in Indien und den USA. LG!

I agree regarding the castle interiour. But when you consider the sourrounding area it is magnificent...

I think Heidelberg Castle is overrated.

What?

@@Tobi-ln9xr That aint what they're called lol

@@SpiritMatthias Of course that’s what they’re called. The Swabian alps are in southern Germany. It’s „Schwäbische Alb“ in German.

@@Tobi-ln9xr Why don’t German speakers cal The Alps “The Alb” then? Nah fam.

@@SpiritMatthias Because Germany has thousands of dialects and "Alb“ is the old Swabian form of saying Alps. Idk why you are even questioning it, Baden Württemberg is a mountainous region in Southern Germany with the Black Forest, the Allgäu or the Swabian Alps as national parks with hills and mountains. Just google it if you don’t believe me…

You must be fun at parties

Boohoo I suppose Bolshevik style apartments are more your style.

Which Polish castle would you recommend?

@@DWTravel Too many amazing ones to pick from ☺️ But I would definitely recommend one close to my hometown of Gdansk: Malbork Castle - the largest castle in the world. With rich Polish and German history, meticulously restored after destruction of WW2.

@@DWTravel Malbork Castle, originally named Marienburg, is deeply entwined with the history of the Teutonic Order. The construction of the castle began in 1274 by the Teutonic Knights to strengthen their control after the suppression of the Prussian uprising. The castle, a remarkable example of medieval fortress architecture, took over a century to complete, with its final stages wrapping up around 1406. It holds the distinction of being the world’s largest brick castle at the time of its completion. Initially, Malbork Castle served as the conventual seat of the commander, but by 1309 it became the seat of the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order and the capital of Teutonic Prussia. The castle expanded to accommodate the growing number of knights, eventually housing around 3,000 brothers in arms. Throughout its history, Malbork Castle has been the site of sieges and occupations. After the Teutonic Order’s defeat at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, the castle withstood a subsequent siege. Later, it became a royal residence and the seat of Polish institutions after the region became part of Royal Prussia in 1466. The castle served this function for over 300 years until the First Partition of Poland in 1772. During World War II, the castle suffered significant damage but was restored and is now a museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the Malbork Castle Museum welcomes visitors to explore its grandeur and delve into its rich history, from its origins as a Teutonic stronghold to its days as a Polish royal residence and beyond .
