Burg Eltz - Medieval castle between Koblenz & Trier, Germany (near the Moselle River)
A rare, fully intact medieval castle that survived the ravages of the bombings of World War II. Located in a very rural & remote area between the towns of Koblenz and Trier, Germany, just off the Moselle River. It was an absolute delight to visit and it was easy to see why well-known travel host Rick Steves has declared this to be his very favorite of all the European castles he has visited.

850 Years of Fascinating History
Eltz Castle is considered the German knight’s castle par excellence. It has remained in the possession of the original family and was never destroyed. Its history is a wealth of myths and events, famous personalities and great art. A short portrait of the castle with the most important dates and facts as well as many interesting stories and information:
9th to 13th Century
The development of medieval castles, which we admire so much today because of their beauty and their fortifications, began in the 9th and 10th century. What used to be small manor houses surrounded by earthworks and palisades now became castles fortified with heavy walls. The prime period of castle construction was from the 11th to the 13th century – the period of the Stauffer dynasty. This eventful period also saw the first mention of the name Eltz.
The Year 1157
In 1157 Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa issued a deed of donation, which was signed and sealed by Rudolf von Eltz as one of the witnesses. At this time he resided in a small castle complex next to the Eltzbach. Parts of this first castle, such as the Romanesque keep Platt-Eltz and four storeys of the former Romanesque pallas (living quarter), today integrated in the Kempenich Houses, can still be seen today. The probably oldest painted chimney in Germany and a recently discovered painted window arch also date from this period.
Eltz Castle was erected in a strategically important position: It was built along a trade route that linked the Moselle River – historically one of the most important trade routes in the German Empire – with the Eifel and the fertile Maifeld.
The castle and its surroundings form a harmonious unity: surrounded on three sides by the Eltzbach, the castle towers on an oval rock – the castle’s foundation – which in itself is up to 70 metres high. The architecture follows the shape of the rock, which results in the unusual shapes of the different rooms.
The Year 1268
The brothers Elias, Wilhelm and Theoderich had a dispute and the family split up before 1268. This led to the castle and the estate being divided among the three branches of the family. Henceforth the castle was a so-called Ganerbenburg, a castle inhabited by several lines of a family at the same time.
1300 and 1311
The tower-like keep today referred to as Klein Rodendorf to the north of the old keep was probably built for Theoderich zu Eltz of the Buffalo Horns between 1290 and 1300.
Johann zu Eltz, the son of Wilhelm, built the first five storeys of what is today called Rübenach House in 1311 for his line of the family, Eltz of the White Lion.
1331 to 1336
The lords of Eltz confronted the Archbishop of Trier, Balduin of Luxemburg’s expansion politics by forming an alliance with neighbouring castles, the so-called Eltz Feud. In 1331 this confrontation saw the first documented canon attack north of the Alps. When this proved to be ineffective, Balduin erected a siege castle, the Trutzeltz, the ruin of which can still be seen today, from where he besieged Eltz Castle with catapults and heavy stone balls for many years. The knights of Eltz finally gave up in 1336. As a result of this defeat most of the fortifications had to be demolished, leaving the castle as no more than a fortified residence. This, however, was never destroyed. It was a lucky turn that the castle never saw any battle action after the Eltz Feud. This was not least owed to clever family politics, shrewd diplomacy and occasional support from neighbours.
The Year 1472
The top two storeys and the roof of the Rübenach House were added in 1442, while the staircase of this building was only completed in 1444. The magnificent murals in this house in the west of the castle complex were completed in 1742 under Lancelot and Wilhelm of the Silver Lion. Incidentally, the name Eltz-Rübenach goes back to the family’s estate Rübenach near Coblenz, which had been acquired by Richard of the Silver Lion.
With its multi-angular timber-frame turrets, the simple oriel resting on two basalt columns above the entrance and the charming late-Gothic chapel apse, the Rübenach House characterises the architectural variety of the central courtyard.
