HAUNTED CASTLE ON THE RHINE RIVER GERMANY (Burg Reichenstein) - October 11, 2014 - usaaffamily vlog
VIEW YESTERDAY'S VLOG!
Visiting Burg Reichenstein near the town of Trechtingshausen in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Situated on a rocky ridge, Rheinstein Castle rises approximately 270 feet above the River Rhine in the Loreley Valley. Originally built around 900 A.D. to serve as a customs post for the German Empire, it was referred to as either the Vogtsburg (Advocate's Castle) or Feitsburg.
The castle was home to the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph of Habsburg, from 1282 through 1286. Here he passed judgment on the unruly robber knights at the castles of Reichenstein, Sooneck and Ehrenfels. In addition, Rudolph of Habsburg founded the Noble Knighthood and renamed the castle, Königstein. From the 14th to 17th century, the castle was leased to the archbishops of Mainz. However, it began to fall into disrepair after 1572 when it became unprofitable for Anton von Wiltberg, chamberlain in Mainz, to maintain its upkeep.
In 1823, the castle ruin and its foundation stone were purchased by Prince Frederick of Prussia, nephew of King Frederick William III. Thereafter, the castle was rebuilt under the direction of famous castle architect, Claudius von Lassaulx. It was renamed Rheinstein Castle due to its imposing rocky location above the Rhine. Since 1975, Rheinstein Castle has been privately owned by the Hecher family who repaired and restored the castle over a period of 19 years to regain its glory from days long ago.

Cruising along the Loreley - Part 1 - Burg Reichenstein Castle, Trechtingshausen, Germany
Nederlandse ondertiteling - English spoken
Kasteel Reichenstein (Duits: Burg Reichenstein), ook wel Falkenburg genoemd, is een kasteel op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO van de Boven Midden-Rijnvallei. Het staat op een bergspoor op de oostelijke helling van het Bingenwald, boven de gemeente Trechtingshausen in de deelstaat Rijnland-Palts in het district Mainz-Bingen in Duitsland. De eerste vermelding van het kasteel vindt plaats in 1213, toen Philipp III von Bolanden werd benoemd tot castellanus en gerechtsdeurwaarder door de abdij Kornelimünster in Aken. De vermeende gevangenneming in 1253 blijft een onderwerp van debat onder experts, hoewel koning Rudolph I van Habsburg het kasteel in 1282 belegerde, veroverde en vernietigde. In die tijd was Reichenstein in handen van onhandelbare roverridders geleid door Dietrich von Hohenfels. Na de verwoesting verbood koning Rudolph het kasteel om te worden herbouwd en volgens de legende werden Dietrich en zijn volgelingen onthoofd in de buurt van de Sint-Clemenskapel (Clemenskapelle). In werkelijkheid lijkt het erop dat Dietrich zelf ontsnapte terwijl zijn aanhangers aan bomen hingen. In de periode die volgde, bleven de ruïnes van Reichenstein in bezit van de graafpalatinus van de Rijn en werden herbouwd. Ludwig IV, de heilige Romeinse keizer, verleende het kasteel aan de keurvorst en aartsbisschop van Mainz in 1344. Op dat moment werd een nieuwe dubbele muur gebouwd rond een binnenhof met een rechthoekige donjon en een voorplein aan het noorden. Het begon uiteindelijk in verval te geraken na 1572, toen het onrendabel werd voor Anton von Wiltberg, kamerheer in Mainz, om het onderhoud te behouden. Franz Wilhelm von Barfuss kocht de ruïnes in 1834 en begon aan de restauratie. De familie Kirsch-Puricelli kocht het kasteel in 1899 en voltooide de restauraties in een neo-gotische stijl. Het gezin woonde in het kasteel van 1902-1936. De huidige eigenaar is een directe afstammeling van de Puricelli.
Reichenstein Castle (German: Burg Reichenstein), also known as Falkenburg is a castle in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. It stands on a mountain spur on the eastern slope of the Bingen Forest, above the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Trechtingshausen in the Mainz-Bingen district in Germany. The first mention of the castle occurs in 1213, when Philipp III von Bolanden was appointed “castellanus” and bailiff by the Kornelimünster Abbey at Aachen. Its purported capture in 1253 remains a subject of debate among experts, though there is no doubt that King Rudolph I of Habsburg besieged, captured, and destroyed the castle in 1282. At the time, Reichenstein was in the hands of unruly robber knights led by Dietrich von Hohenfels. Following its destruction, King Rudolph forbid the castle from being rebuilt, and according to legend, had Dietrich and his followers beheaded near Saint Clement’s Chapel (Clemenskapelle). In truth, it seems that, while his followers were hung from trees, Dietrich himself escaped. In the period that followed, the ruins of Reichenstein remained in the possession of the Count palatine of the Rhine and were rebuilt. Ludwig IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, granted the castle to the Elector and Archbishop of Mainz in 1344. At that time, a new double wall was built surrounding an inner court containing a rectangular keep, and a forecourt was added to the north. It eventually began to fall into disrepair after 1572, when it became unprofitable for Anton von Wiltberg, chamberlain in Mainz, to maintain its upkeep. Franz Wilhelm von Barfuss bought the ruins in 1834 and began the restoration. The family Kirsch-Puricelli purchased the castle in 1899 and completed the restorations in a neo-Gothic style. The family lived in the castle from 1902-1936. The current owner is a direct descendant of the Puricelli.

Rheinstein Castle (Burg Rheinstein) Germany
Built on the ruins of the earlier Fatzberg Castle, Rheinstein was the first castle to be 'resurrected' by Rhine Romanticism. The Hohenzollern Prince Friedrich Ludwig of Prussia acquired the castle in 1823 and changed its name to Rheinstein. The remains of the medieval castle were utilised in the reconstruction of 1825-1829.
