Heidelberg Castle (German: Heidelberger Schloss) is a famous ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps.
The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is located 80 metres (260 ft) up the northern part of the Königstuhl hillside, and thereby dominates the view of the old downtown. It is served by an intermediate station on the Heidelberger Bergbahn funicular railway that runs from Heidelberg's Kornmarkt to the summit of the Königstuhl.
The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning-bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning-bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.
Heidelberg was first mentioned in 1196 as "Heidelberch". In 1155 Conrad of Hohenstaufen was made the Count Palatine by his half-brother Frederick Barbarossa, and the region became known as the Electorate of the Palatinate. The claim that Conrad's main residence was on the Schlossberg (Castle Hill), known as the Jettenbühl, cannot be substantiated. The name "Jettenbühl" comes from the soothsayer Jetta, who was said to have lived there. She is also associated with Wolfsbrunnen (Wolf's Spring) and the Heidenloch (Heathens' Well). The first mention of a castle in Heidelberg (Latin: "castrum in Heidelberg cum burgo ipsius castri") is in 1214, when Louis I, Duke of Bavaria of the House of Wittelsbach received it from Hohenstaufen Emperor Friedrich II. The last mention of a single castle is in 1294. In another document from 1303, two castles are mentioned for the first time:

Easter 2013, I visited the Famous Heidelberg Castle in Heidelberg Germany. I wrote an article about it on my blog at http://www.empowernetwork.com/eddiewalter/famous-heidelberg-castle-video-tour/ *** http://www.residual-income-development.com ***
http://tourvideos.com/ The most important single sight in Heidelberg is the magnificent castle on the hill. It is a romantic ruin, with enough buildings still standing to present a very good idea of how wonderful this complex was during its glory days in the 15th-17th centuries. Get off at the "Schloss" castle station, go through the arched gateway and walk left for the grand vista looking down on the town below. You can see how the castle is built on steep cliffs to prevent invasion from the front, with high walls and a dry moat protecting the rear. As you stand in the courtyard surrounded by the castle, your eyes will be drawn to the impressive Renaissance façade of the Friedrich Building, dripping with sculptural and decorative architectural details. Built from 1601-07 as the li...

A visit to beautiful Heidelberg, Germany would be incomplete without a visit to the romantic ruin that is known as Schloss Heidelberg (Heidelberg Castle). Situated on a hill, it overlooks the old section of Heidelberg and dominates the view from any angle. The castle has been recorded as far back as 1214 and undergone major changes, but also having been destroyed several times over the years. By the year 1650, the current expanded version of the castle had been established, but also destroyed by fire on several occasions. In the late 1700, the castle ceased to function as a residence and was abandoned. It fell into neglect and disrepair until writers and painters began to see the beauty in the starkness of the ruins and began to extol its virtues, attracting more and more visitors to se...
My river cruise, the Viking Kvasir, stopped for the day in Heidelberg, so I got a quick look at this historic city. We checked out the famous Heidelberg Castle, ate our way through the Christmas market, shopped in Christmas stores and had a delicious pub lunch in a brauhaus.

Another castle! Baaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghh. And give me a break, do I really have to do everything for my party? Hey, cast this! Hey, cast THIS. Why does the enemy AI spam cast while my guys can't even decide if they want to stand still by the boss or stand still at the edge of the screen. Lydon was going very smooth until Stahn died, which probably could have been avoided if everyone was doing something. Your party's AI, the hardest boss in the game. Very surprised that retarded Life Bottle party ended up working. Sorry for the lack of EXP, Rutee. You understand.

Cruising the Rhine River, we dodge riverboat traffic and the legendary Lorelei. After climbing castles and descending into dungeons, we relax with Rhine wine. We tour Burg Eltz — a lived-in castle where the noble lady still puts out fresh flowers. Then we enter the walled town of Rothenburg for Germany's best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town's lamp-lit ramparts. © 2002 Rick Steves' Europe
Heidelberg is one of the prettiest and best-preserved towns in all of Germany, set in picture postcard perfection alongside the Neckar River, with a classic castle towering above. Filled with Old World charm, its almost like a fantasy version of an ancient German town, or something dreamed up by Disney -- but this is the real thing. Heidelbergs historic center of picturesque early 18th century buildings, about one mile long and four blocks wide, is an ideal-sized pedestrian zone to explore on foot.
Heidelberg has a pleasant, old-fashioned appearance, with charming four-story buildings that share a similar architecture of matching facades and harmonious, earth-tone color schemes, topped with clay-tile roofs. No two buildings are exactly alike and yet they all blend seamlessly in a simple Baroque style. While the exteriors may be centuries old, they are maintained spotlessly with fresh paint and modern fixtures. The shop interiors are totally contemporary, if not futuristic, with all the latest goods on sale. Numerous restaurants will delight you with their gourmet fare and tasty beer. We then visit the most important single sight in Heidelberg -- the magnificent castle on the hill. It is a romantic ruin, with enough buildings still standing to present a very good idea of how wond...
