Nurnberg castle, or Kaiserburg, is one of the most important castles in the history of the German empire. It attained its massive present size in three stages of construction between the 11th and the 15th centuries. Combined with the city defenses, this is a site that justifies a lengthy tour.

For its earliest 500 years this castle was the residence of all Germany's kings and emperors, and hosted virtually all important leaders and royalty of the time. While German emperors never had an actual capitol or home base as such, Nurnberg came as close as to this distinction as possible. It is one of the very few castles to have had the official privilage of housing the imperial regalia and bear the symbol of the empire on its walls.

Above is the Sinwell tower, the most prominent feature of the castle from a distance. Below, the roof of the stables where grain was stored for centuries. And that is no light statement. Emperor Charles V had a loaf of bread baked from grain in storage there for over 180 years. All the windows were to facilitate circulation of air.




Above: View through the inner gate from the inner courtyard where the palas is. Note the imperial insignia on the gate. Below: View across the forecourt toward the palas area. The inner gate is behind the tree. The tower is Heathens Tower.

The castle's extensive and significant history is far too involved to even touch on here, but one event that stands out in my mind is when King Henry V waged war against his father Emperor Henry IV and after a two month siege conquered the castle. His father was invloved at the time in the most famous of Germany's historical eras, the investiture contest with Pope Gregory VII.
