The pillboxes flanking the gate of Lichtenberg castle will be 18th century even as the horizontal loopholes. The ivy clad sentinel lets everyone pass. This looks more like a slatted louver than a window. Moorish influences cannot be ruled out. Fiesta time. Spit roasted pig may be on the menu. Not much difference between machicolation and a non-flushing toilet. Baseball hoops made of stone were also used to secure flagpoles. Pig sticker or hay fork? The base would be too small to keep a load of hay well balanced. The design would however work well for capturing snakes. Apply force on the tread to drive the prongs deeper into the ground. No snakes, there are always spuds. Cleaning lady assessment, a longer handle might have helped. Semi-dressed Staufic ashlars (or humpback blocks). Helen Keller, let me decode that for you. Thickness of the enclosing walls, about 2,60 meter. The base of the keep, roughly 30by30 feet, is solid stone. The interior stairway starts halfway up. The half-timbered upper floors of the living quarters are 16th century. Somebody tried his Tetris skills at this partition wall. The precariously perched lintel should not have survived an inspection. Wunnenstein (or Forstberg). Any South facing slope will be dedicated to Bacchus. The heraldic word for red is 'gules' ('engueuler', gorge-red), this would make it 'gules a bent argent' blazon (or vice versa). It could have been the castle's barbershop - or marked the location where lifebuoys were kept (chevroned ski sweaters). Flags became a big thing during the crusades. They also served as badges of entitlement, technical, 'vexillaria feuda'. Numerous crusading flags were based on symbolic arrangement of red and white stripes. The Dannebrog simply did fall from the sky during the battle of Tallinn (1217) as a sign of divine favor (nearly as good as rainbows, nature's very own Arc de Triomphe). And Austria was once part of Bavaria (meaning it should boast the BMW flag - made up out of white and blue lozenges). Guelf territory that is (later associated with the Wittelsbach line). But then there was Barbarossa who in 1156 split off its Southern parts. Condign punishment for lacking zeal during an Italian campaign. (FIFA pic) Barbarossa: I know a 'carroccio' when I see one. Blow the alphorns and remember Legano. The windsock looks like an animated dragon. A Lichtenberg commanded the imperial army of Louis IV's (sobriquet 'ille Bavarius') in the Battle of Mühldorf (1322). The event is duly commemorated in the ancestral hall. The relations with the Holy See remained choppy. The chumminess did not survive the rise to power. Whatever the hunting lodge, the Nimrod braggadocio will be the same. With my bare hands did I strangle them. 18th or 19th century. The highlight is the chapel. A somewhat womblike experience. One can touch the ceiling nearly everywhere (just take measures before shopping for a Xmas tree). The frescoes of the first hour date from 1220, the Gothic face-lift from the early 14th century. The crucifix looks Baroque (actually 1573). Piecemeal, the holy supper scene (black backdrop) is early 14th century but the Palm Sunday scene as well as the crucifixion with the man in pain are leftovers from 1220. Telltale clue, panel imposed formatting is blissfully ignored. Jaywalking before its time. The by-standers (flash crowds) in the artfully draped chitons are Gothic. Also early 14th century, the dickering for souls. Bottom row, the distaff side of the highborn family kneel in organ pipe order before the altar. The 14th century frescoes in the nearby Peterskirche are most likely by the same hand (it features a St. Martin of Tour interacting with a rather realistic pauper, no questions regarding 'the halt and the lame' part). The nunnery St.John in Oberstenfeld served as burial site. Most abbeys allowed the burial of sponsors regardless of gender.(Women without means would normally wind up in a beguinage, earn your keep set-up.)

Wir haben am 14. Mai 2022 unsere Hochzeit auf Burg Lichtenberg gefeiert. Es war eine Hochzeit, wie man sie sich nur wünschen kann. Dank der guten Beratung von Herrn Ziegler wurden alle unsere Erwartungen nicht nur erfüllt, sondern noch übertroffen. Die Location (ins besondere die Burgkapelle) ist ein Traum! Wir hatten eine wundervolle Trauung und Hochzeitsfeier. Mit Spanferkel vom Grill und einem tollen Buffett. Auch die Damen vom Service haben uns jeden Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen. Auch der von Herrn Ziegler empfohlene DJ Jochen Friedrich hat die Burg gerockt. Super Musik pur! Das Feedback unserer Gäste: "Die schönste und beste Hochzeit, auf der sie je waren".

Hatten vergangenen Samstag unsere Hochzeit in der Burg gefeiert. Absolute Klasse. Es fehlte an nichts, jeder Sonderwunsch wurde umgesetzt und wahrgenommen. Sehr Großes Lob an den Service und die Küchen Crew. Die Gäste und wir, waren alle total begeistert, sind immernoch etwas geflasht. Die hinzugebuchte Burg Führung kam super bei vielen Gästen an und lockert den Zeitraum zwischen kaffee und Abendessen sehr gut auf, können wir jedem empfehlen. Ein großen Dank an Herrn Seeger, Herrn Wiechmann, Jasmin und die ganze Crew. Macht weiter so.

Hatten auf Burg am Samstag den 10.10.2020 eine traumhafte Hochzeit, können es nur weiter empfehlen! Die ganze Planung war sehr flexibel und angenehm, es wurde auf jeden unserer Wünsche eingegangen, von Schokobrunnen bis Cocktails ist alles möglich! Das ganze Team ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend, hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Außerdem möchten wir lobend erwähnen wie flexibel man uns gegenüber war, als wir am Mittwoch für Samstag noch kurz den Tagesplan durch Corona umschmeißen mussten. Herr Ziegler hat uns wunderbar betreut und war immer bei Fragen erreichbar. Das Essen war sehr lecker, vor allem das Spanferkel ist zu empfehlen. Alles wird frisch zubereitet und vom Markt eingekauft, sogar die Pommes sind selbstgemacht. Die Burg ist sehr schön und wurde diesen Sommer sehr schön renoviert: die Toiletten sind komplett neu, in den Innenräumen gibt es jetzt Bodenheizung sowie neuen Boden, und einen tollen Kamin und eine neue Bar. Im Außenbereich gibt es jetzt hochwertige Schirme, falls die Sonne scheint oder es regnet. Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend, man sieht an guten Tagen bis zum Bosch Gebäude in Gerlingen! Während der Veranstaltung können sich die Gäste komplett frei bewegen auf dem Gelände der Burg und wir haben tolle Rückmeldungen von unseren Gästen bekommen. Wir kommen gerne wieder für unsere silberne und goldene Hochzeit und können allen nur empfehlen diese besondere...

Wir hatten das große Glück vor einer Woche unsere Hochzeitsfeier auf der Burg Lichtenberg ausrichten zu dürfen! Wir hatten einen wundervollen, rundum gelungenen Tag und es hätte nicht schöner sein können!

Wir durften ein zauberhaft leckeres Essen genießen, waren alle total begeistert von der äußerst interessant gestalteten Burgführung und hatten insgesamt eine wundervolle Atmosphäre in einem atemberaubenden Ambiente.

Ganz herzlichen Dank an das großartige Organisationsteam mit all seinen wunderbaren Menschen, die sich alle so viel Mühe gemacht haben unseren besonderen Tag für uns auszurichten. Es wurde immer auf uns eingegangen, flexibel umgeplant, stets war für alles eine Lösung parat und das bei einer durchwegs Freundlich- und Herzlichkeit. Wir haben uns von der ersten Begegnung an so wohl gefühlt! Wir kommen, wenn es die Möglichkeit gibt, immer gerne wieder!...
