Castle Hohenzollern

Burg Hohenzollern (Burg is the same as Castle) is a castle, about 50 km south of Stuttgart City.It´s considered home to the Hohenzollern Family that came to power during the Middle Ages and rules Prussia and Brandenburg until 1918.The castle was originally constructed in the first part of the 11th century. It was completely destroyed after a 10-month siege in 1423.A second, larger and sturdier castle was constructed from 1454 to 1461 and served as a refuge for the Swabian Hohenzollern Family during wartime, including during the Thirty Year´s War. By the end of the 18th century, however, the castle was thought to have lost its strategic importance and gradually fell into disrepair, leading to the demolition of several dilapidated buildings.The third version of the castle, which stands today, was constructed by King Friedrich Wihelm IV between 1846 and 1867, under the direction of Oberhofbaurat Stühler, who based his design on Neo-Gotic style. Because the castle was built to be merely a family memorial, no member of the Hohenzollern family took residence in this third castle until 1945, when it became home to the last Prussian Crown Prince Wihelm.He and his wife Crown Princess Cecile are buried there.
