Great Harz Castle. Harz.Travel of the Cat on a leash
The Harzburg, also called Gro?e Harzburg (Great Harz Castle), is a former imperial castle, situated on the northwestern edge of the Harz mountain range overlooking the spa resort of Bad Harzburg in Goslar District in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany. It was erected from 1065 to 1068 at the behest of King Henry IV of Germany, slighted during the Saxon Rebellion in 1073-75, and a century later rebuilt under Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and his Welf successor Otto IV, who died here in 1218.
Later used as a robber baron's lair, the hill castle crumbled into ruins over the centuries. Today it has almost completely disappeared; only fragments of the foundation walls and the towers together with the castle well are preserved.
Henry IV[edit]
During Henry's minority and the regency of his mother Agnes of Poitou, the Saxon nobles had strengthened their position. The local count Otto of Nordheim, Duke of Bavaria since 1061, had even been involved in Henry's abduction during the 1062 Coup of Kaiserswerth. In turn, the Gro?e Harzburg (Hartesburg) was erected during a large-scale castle building programme in the Duchy of Saxony from 1065 to 1068. Intended as a demonstration of power in the Saxon mainland, the extended complex was strategically sited by King Henry's architect Bishop Benno II of Osnabruck providing protection for the nearby Goslar imperial palace and the mines of Rammelsberg. Its walls extend right up to the steep face of the conical hilltop. At the time it was built the castle was impregnable.
Despite its defensive strength, the castle was also especially palatial. For example, it contained, amongst other things, unusually large, three-roomed great hall and collegiate church, to which Henry had many relics transferred. He even had a sort of family vault built, in which he laid the moratl remains of his brother, Duke Conrad II of Bavaria and his son, Henry, both of whom died young.
According to the chronicler Lambert of Hersfeld, the Saxon Rebellion broke out when on 29 June 1073 several nobles marched against the king residing in the Imperial Palace of Goslar. Henry had to flee along with the Imperial Regalia into the walls of the Harzburg. The besieging forces led by Otto of Nordheim and Bishop Burchard II of Halberstadt allegedly numbered 60,000 whilst his garrison only had 300 men. The king finally fled to Franconia in the night to 10 August, according to legend, through the well of the besieged castle and a secret passage.
The king initially did not gain much support by the German princes and in the 1074 Treaty of Gerstungen he was forced to agree to slight his castles, including the Harzburg. He hesitated, however, and only had the walls and towers demolished, whilst the buildings themselves remained. But in the spring of 1074 the Harzburg was plundered by annoyed peasants and completely destroyed. The collegiate church was not spared and the royal family tomb was desecrated. This incident prompted widespread indignation and gave Henry cause to advance with all his might against the rebellious Saxons again and so, on 9 June 1075, the rebels were defeated at the Battle of Langensalza.
Henry IV never returned to the Harzburg. Pope Gregory VII, who would become a bitter enemy during the Investiture Controversy, imposed a ban on the devastated site. In January 1077, the king had to make the Walk to Canossa to obtain the revocation of his excommunication.

Quedlinburg - Goldstraße und Schreckensturm
Es ist eine alte, schon 1583 erwähnte Strasse im Gebiet um die Ägidiikirche, sie wird wahrscheinlich schon früher bestanden haben. Der Grund zur Benennung dieser Strasse als Goldstrasse ist nicht genau geklärt. Eine Deutung geht dahin, dass das Gegenteil von Gold gemeint ist und durch eine ironische Bezeichnung für Dreck- und Schmutzstrasse zur Namensgebung führte. Eine andere Erklärung besagt: Gold ist dem altgermanischen Rechtswort kol = Gericht, gleichzusetzen. Zu denken wäre dabei an die Verbindung mit dem Markt, wo in ältester Zeit Gerichtsverhandlungen stattfanden und vor allem mit dem in der Goldstrasse gelegenen Schreckensturm, dessen Name Marterturm im Jahre 1500, Schreckensturm 1575 auf einen solchen Sinn hinweist, der das Wort koln = Quälen bestätigt. Durch Lautumbildung ist aus koln -- Gold geworden. Auf dieser Strasse führten die Henkersknechte die Verbrecher zur Kolstätte, wo sie unter Umständen zur Buße schwerer Verbrechen und Vergehen, für die der Richter keine Todesstrafe aussprach, gequält und gemartert wurden. Der Schreckensturm ist noch ein lebendiger zeuge für die Art der Gefangenschaften und Gefängnisse. So bleibt aber die wahre Erklärung immer noch im Dunkeln, anderen Städten geht es ähnlich.
