Waltern Castle
Germany, Germany
Waltern Castle appears to be a misspelling or variant reference to Wartburg Castle near Eisenach in Thuringia, Germany, a UNESCO World Heritage site founded around 1067 by Count Ludwig the Springer on a forested hilltop overlooking the Hörsel Valley.
This iconic medieval fortress served as home to St. Elisabeth of Hungary, refuge for Martin Luther who translated the New Testament into German during his 1521-1522 stay, and legendary site of the Sängerkrieg (singers' contest) inspiring Wagner's opera Tannhäuser.
Expanded through the centuries with Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance elements including a great hall and chapel, it influenced King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein design and symbolizes German cultural unity.
