Welcome to the Hotel Rose

The Biricianis station with its Alenkastell was the most important Roman troop location in the Limes section there. Although Limes research in the region had become more and more important since the 17th century, it was not until 1890 that evidence of a fort near Weissenburg was found. The subsequent excavations unearthed all essential parts of the fort; the investigations extend far into the 20th century. Unfortunately, preserving the foundations had not proven itself. In 1965 the masonry was filled in again, a slab cover still indicates the foundations today.

With the reconstruction of the north gate and the subsequent wall areas in their original size, the area was enormously upgraded in 1990 as part of the design of an archaeological park and today invites you to stroll and inform alike.

Recent research has shown that the north gate must have been one floor higher than the reconstruction on the castle grounds.

Hohenzollernfestung Wülzburg

Oberhalb von Weißenburg, auf der mit 630 Metern höchsten Bergkuppe der südlichen Frankenalb, liegt die alte ansbachische Hohenzollernfestung Wülzburg. Ein eindrucksvolles und einzigartiges Denkmal des Renaissancefestungsbaus in Deutschland!

Seit dem 11. Jahrhundert befand sich an dieser Stelle ein Benediktinerkloster, das im Zuge der Reformation zuerst in eine Probstei und 1537 in ein weltliches Verwalteramt umgewandelt wurde.

Im Jahre 1588 ließ Markgraf Georg Friedrich d.Ä. von Brandenburg-Ansbach hier an der südlichen Grenze seines Territoriums in direkter Nachbarschaft der Reichsstadt Weißenburg, des Deutschen Ordens in Ellingen, der Grafschaft Pappenheim und des Fürstbistums Eichstätt eine pentagonale Festungsanlage mit den Bastionen Jungfrau, Krebs, Rossmühle, Kaltes Eck und Hauptwache im neuitalienischen Bastionärssystem errichten. Die Bastionen Jungfrau und Krebs erhielten ihre Namen durch gleichnamige Kanonen.

Den Grundriss der Wülzburg bildet ein fast regelmäßiges Fünfeck, ein Pentagon. Dieses hatte gegenüber den älteren quadratischen oder rechteckigen Anlagen ballistische und konstruktive Vorteile, weshalb man sich im ausgehenden 16. Jahrhundert für dieses Planschema entschied.

Der Außenrundgang und der Innenhof der Festung sind jederzeit zugänglich.

.Nuremberg (often Nuremberg Närmberch, East Franconian also Närrnberch or Nämberch) is a Franconian city in the administrative district of Middle Franconia in the Free State of Bavaria. With around 520,000 inhabitants, Nuremberg is the largest city in Bavaria after Munich, with significant growth, making it one of the 15 largest cities in Germany. Together with the neighboring cities of Fürth, Erlangen and Schwabach, Nuremberg with around 800,000 inhabitants is one of the three major cities in Bavaria. Together with their surrounding area, these cities form the Nuremberg metropolitan area, with over 1.3 million people and the economic and cultural center of the almost 3.6 million inhabitants of the European Metropolitan Region of Nuremberg, one of the 11 metropolitan regions in Germany. The city of Nuremberg was mentioned for the first time in the Sigena document from 1050, it experienced its first heyday as an independent imperial city of the HRR from 1219. Before the severe destruction in the Second World War and the very simplified reconstruction of the post-war period, the medieval old town of Nuremberg was in force as one of the most important in Europe. However, some of the landmarks were rebuilt true to the original, especially the churches of the city. In addition, some monuments have been preserved. The most important landmarks include some buildings along the historic mile, especially the Nuremberg Castle. In addition, other noble buildings and castles of the old HRR imperial city have been preserved. Also of national importance are Nuremberg's Christmas market, the Germanic National Museum and several other museums. The city achieved global awareness in the 20th century during the Nazi era, when the annual Nazi Party rallies took place on the Nazi Party Rally Grounds and the Nuremberg Laws were passed. After the Second World War, however, with the Nuremberg trials, the city became the scene of the first judgments based on international criminal law and acquired the title City of Human Rights. In economic terms, the service sector, cutting-edge technology, industrial production (including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and automotive parts) and the Nuremberg Exhibition Center (including Spielwarenmesse, Consumenta, GaLaBau, BIOFACH) are of great importance. Nuremberg is also the seat of the state authorities, the Federal Employment Agency and the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a German city in northern Bavaria that is known for its medieval architecture. Half-timbered houses can be found along the cobblestone streets of the old town. The city walls include many preserved gatehouses and towers as well as a covered passage above the wall. In the St. Jakobskirche there is an elaborately designed, late Gothic altarpiece by the wood carver Tilman Riemenschneider. The medieval town hall has a tower with a panoramic view
