The 4 unique historical features and the unique modern feature, set against the medieval experience at Waldburg Castle. Discovering the past and immersing yourself in history takes you on a journey through nearly 1,000 years of German history. Our multimedia guide delights adults, while the puppet theater makes children’s eyes light up.
**Waldburg Castle has a very eventful history that surprises and delights. Parts of this history have shaped the southern German region. Here are the 4 unique selling points of the story:**
1. 1220: Crown Jewels of the Holy Roman Empire. 800 years ago, the imperial regalia were safely kept at Waldburg Castle by Eberhard von Tanne for at least 23 years. This was during the reign of our Staufer Emperor Frederick II (Frederico Secondo). Defining for our region and all of southern Germany
2. Bauernjörg’s House of Burg—an event of world-historical significance. If the Peasants’ War had been lost in 1525, it would have been roughly equivalent to the French Revolution taking place 200 years earlier. So says Peter Blickle, a historian from Memmingen
3. Map of America—World Documentary Heritage.
A facsimile of the first documented mention of America is on display at Waldburg Castle: the Martin Waldseemüller map from 1507. The original is now housed in the Library of Congress in Washington.
4. Trigonometric point of the first-order network.
In 1818, the Kingdom of Württemberg was surveyed from the Waldburg. For this reason, a work platform was installed on the roof of the Waldburg. Today it is known as our Altane or Belvedere. The highest point in Upper Swabia, offering a breathtaking view over Lake Constance, the Swiss Alps, and all the way to the Zugspitze.
