========================

The oldest part of Breuberg castle was build by the Monastery

of Fulda in the middle of the 12th century. it was use as the

office of a bailiff, for the protection of the Monastary's land and property.

As a consequence of structural extension during the late middle

ages and the 16th century, it became one of the largest castles

in Southern Germany.

It was rebuild by the Count of Wertheim in the 15th century

as his fortress, and as such played its role until the stormy

development of fighting techniques in the 16 th century destroyed

its political significance.

The castle has change from a fortress, to an administration

centre and is today a centre of romantic appeal and a focal point

for visitors to Breubert.

The owner, the Count of Hesse, is having the youth hostel,

in the upper part of the castle, renovated.

Johann-Casimir-Building

This is the knight's room of Breuberg castle, also known as

the Erbach ceremonial room. At the entrance of this building

there is an inscription which tells us that it was build by

Johann-Casimir from Erbach. The year 1613 is mentioned as

the construction date. Accompanying this is the Crest of the

Counts of Erbach. The Counts of Erbach could also be

called "Masters of Breuberg".

1613 was a restless period. It was about this time that the

Catholic church tried to win back their formery dominant

position, while the Protestant church was reluctant to

relinquish any of its power.

Johann-Casimir von Erbach was born in 1584 and was

educated for ten years in Strasbourg before he became a

soldier. It was durning his military service, when he was

twenty years old, that he was badly wounded in the war

against the Turks and then returned to his homeland.

Breuberg Castle was then altered into a residence, and the

Johann-Casimir room was built. This is how this building,

with its representative knight's room and ceiling of raised

plaster work, came about.

Johann-Casimir decorated this room with antique figures

from Greek mythology to inspire the onlocker.

Breuberg Castle

The Breuberg Castle Burg Breuberg is among Germany’s best preserved castles. The so-called Kernburg (“core castle”) arose at the beginning of the 13th century and was founded by the imperial abbey of Fulda in order to protect its Odenwald estates. Around 1200 the bailiwick was taken over by the Lords of Lützelbach, who thereupon called themselves Lords (Herren von) of Breuberg. In 1323 already, the male family line of the house of Breuberg died out with Eberhard III. of Breuberg. From the 14th century, the castle was expanded many times, making it today a journey through the building styles of the last 850 years. In 1446, Count Wilhelm of Wertheim sold Count Philipp the Elder of Katzenelnbogen his share of the castle for 2400 Gulden. The castle may have been damaged but was never destroyed, and was always used, thus explaining its good condition. Today the building belongs to the State of Hesse and serves as a youth hostel and a museum.
