Burg Reichenberg, Medieval castle in Oppenweiler, Germany.

The stone fortress features a commanding position on a hilltop, with four-meter-thick walls and a strong curtain wall surrounding the main structure.

Constructed between 1230 and 1231 by Markgraf Hermann V of Baden, the castle served as an administrative center for the surrounding territories.

The castle holds connections to German literature, as Karl von Schiller, son of playwright Friedrich Schiller, worked there as a forest ranger from 1822.

Access to Burg Reichenberg requires advance registration, and visits are not permitted during public holidays according to current regulations.

The structure maintains its position as the most complete Romanesque castle in the Rems-Murr-Kreis region, featuring original architectural elements from the 13th century.
