Heidelberg, Germany - Schloss Heidelberg (Heidelberg Castle) tour
A visit to beautiful Heidelberg, Germany would be incomplete without a visit to the romantic ruin that is known as Schloss Heidelberg (Heidelberg Castle). Situated on a hill, it overlooks the old section of Heidelberg and dominates the view from any angle.
The castle has been recorded as far back as 1214 and undergone major changes, but also having been destroyed several times over the years. By the year 1650, the current expanded version of the castle had been established, but also destroyed by fire on several occasions. In the late 1700, the castle ceased to function as a residence and was abandoned. It fell into neglect and disrepair until writers and painters began to see the beauty in the starkness of the ruins and began to extol its virtues, attracting more and more visitors to see for themselves. Heidelberg realized what a jewel this was and began to restore sections of it that were still salvagable. Mark Twain told of the castle in his book A Tramp Abroad which detailed his visit to Heidelberg, a city that became one of his all-time favorites.
We visited the grounds and also took a guided tour, which added to the fun. An experience not to be missed. If you are interested, I have many still photos of the castle and grounds on my Flickr site @ flickr.com/photos/boortz47/sets/72157638328882154/

Heidelberg Castle, Germany
The number one destination for every visitor to Heidelberg is the castle. You could easily spend several hours at this amazing destination – the magnificent castle on the hill. It is a romantic ruin, with enough buildings still standing to present a very good idea of how wonderful this complex was during its glory days in the 15th through the 17th centuries. The extreme mix of destruction and beauty conjures up the turbulent past of this strategic fortification, with crumbling walls and towers standing next to a complete palace containing a fully-restored interior.

Heidelberg Castle (German: Heidelberger Schloss) is a ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps.
The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is located 80 metres (260 ft) up the northern part of the Königstuhl hillside, and thereby dominates the view of the old downtown. It is served by an intermediate station on the Heidelberger Bergbahn funicular railway that runs from Heidelberg's Kornmarkt to the summit of the Königstuhl.
The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning-bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning-bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.

Bis zu seiner Zerstörung im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg war es die Residenz der Kurfürsten von der Pfalz. Seit den Zerstörungen durch die Soldaten Ludwigs XIV. 1689 und 1693 wurde es nur teilweise restauriert. Die Schlossruine erhebt sich 80 Meter über dem Talgrund und dominiert von dort das Bild der Altstadt. Der Ottheinrichsbau, eine der Palastbauten des Schlosses, gehört zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Bauwerken der Renaissance.
Until its destruction in the Nine Years War, it was the residence of the Elector Palatine. Since the destruction by the soldiers of Louis XIV in 1689 and 1693 it was restored only partially. The castle ruin rises 80 meters above the valley floor and dominates the picture of the old town. The Ottheinrichsbau, one of the palaces of the castle is one of Germany's most important monuments of the Renaissance.

Irene and Dave Hurr visit the fabulous Schloss Heidelberg (Castle) and Palace in Germany
Heidelberg Castle
The most important single sight in Heidelberg is the magnificent castle on the hill. It is a romantic ruin, with enough buildings still standing to present a very good idea of how wonderful this complex was during its glory days in the 15th-17th centuries. Get off at the Schloss castle station, go through the arched gateway and walk left for the grand vista looking down on the town below. You can see how the castle is built on steep cliffs to prevent invasion from the front, with high walls and a dry moat protecting the rear.
As you stand in the courtyard surrounded by the castle, your eyes will be drawn to the impressive Renaissance façade of the Friedrich Building, dripping with sculptural and decorative architectural details. Built from 1601-07 as the living quarters for the Duke of Bavaria, it is embellished with 16 elegant statues depicting emperors and kings of the Wittelsbach dynasty, clad in stone armor befitting their noble warrior status.

Your basic ticket also includes a visit into the German Pharmacy Museum, which has several basement galleries covering the history of medicine and pharmaceuticals.
As you emerge into the castle courtyard, the next stop is the Castle Garden. Don't leave without a good stroll through these vast green terraces, which have quite a history of their own.
It is worth walking to the far end of the Castle Garden to get another excellent view of the town, from a different angle than you have seen previously. Several lovely fountains, are scattered through the gardens, especially at the back edge where a voluptuous river god lounges in a grotto.
Getting to Heidelberg by Tram - Visiting the Castle (Schloss)
