Ehrenburg, Castle ruin in Herzhausen, Germany
The stone remnants of Ehrenburg stand on an elevated position, offering views across the surrounding Hesse region and neighboring settlements.
Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa intervened in 1161 to resolve ownership disputes between the archbishop of Trier and the Rhenish Count Palatine.
The Friends of Ehrenburg association, established in 1993, maintains the site and shares knowledge about medieval architectural practices.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails from Herzhausen, with dedicated parking spaces available at the base.
The castle features a structural element known as the kissing niche, where local tradition suggests couples declare their commitment.
