Estado: Terminado

Descripción:Burg Trifels

Donde estuvo encerrado el rey inglés Ricardo Corazón de León.

La historia del Trifels es un pedazo de la historia del reinado de los Salios - especialmente del periodo Staufer. La montaña del Sonnenberg, sobre la que el castillo resulta visible desde lejos, fue ocupada en el pasado por celtas y romanos. A partir del s.X debió existir en el lugar una fortaleza medieval.

El castillo Trifels nunca fue mencionado como una propiedad de los Salios. El emperador Enrique V mandó traer a Annweiler a partir de 1125 (poco antes de su muerte) los más altos símbolos de la nación alemana del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico. Con pocas interrupciones se custodiaron en el Trifels durante 150 años la espada, la corona imperial, la joya del orbe y el cetro. Hoy solo pueden visitarse las copias, los originales se encuentran en Viena. El Trifels no sólo era castillo imperial, sino también mazmorra para prisioneros estatales de alto nivel como el arzobispo de Maguncia Adalbert (1112-15), el arzobispo de Colonia Bruno (1206-08) o el rey Enrique VII (1235). El más célebre ocupante fue el rey inglés Ricardo Corazón de León, quien al regresar de una cruzada fue apresado en Austria y entregado al emperador alemán. De 1193 a 1194 hubo de permanecer en el Trifels hasta que sus compatriatas reunieron el dinero requerido para el rescate y Ricardo pudo volver a casa. La leyenda dice que su regreso fue de la siguiente manera: el trovador Blondel de Nesle había buscado durante largo tiempo a su señor. Frente a cada gran castillo entonaba el caballero una canción cuya segunda estrofa sólo conocía Corazón de León. Y fue frente al Trifels cuando al fin resonó la canción desde la boca del rey. Esa misma noche Blondel lo liberó. En la realidad, el Trifels nunca fue conquistado. En 1602 lo alcanzó un rayo, el enorme castillo se quemó y poco a poco fue decayendo. Sólo en el s.XX comenzó a ser restaurado en algunas zonas. Resulta especialmente impresionante el Kaisersaal (Salón imperial) en el que desde julio a septiembre se celebran serenatas a la luz de las velas.

CASTILLO DE TRIFELS

QUIEN POSEE EL TRIFELS, TAMBIÉN POSEE EL IMPERIO

Entre 1088 y 1330, este imponente castillo de la dinastía de los Salios y de los Staufen fue uno de los centros políticos del país. En él se encontraban las joyas imperiales: la corona, el cetro y el orbe. Este castillo también fue utilizado como prisión. Su preso más famoso fue el rey Ricardo Corazón de León.

Castle Trifels in the Palatinate

In the Palatinate Woods, atop a high hill overlooking the small town of Anweiler, stands a castle which in the middle ages was one of the most important structures in Germany. Named Trifels, or three rocks because there are three adjacent hill summits (see photo below), it is said that in antiquity a fortress-like structure, probably of Celtic origin, stood on the highest hilltop where Castle Trifels now stands. Surrounded by dense woods, this Castle had at least two claims to fame. First, it housed the German imperial insignia (crown, orb, scepter, sword) and important relics from 1125-1298 A.D. (see photo below right). As it was the rule then that he possesses the imperial insignia rules Germany, successive German rulers apparently felt that the seemingly impregnable Castle was their best guarantor of power. Second, it was at this Castle that the English King "Richard the Lionheart" was held captive in 1193 and possibly in 1194. King Richard was taken prisoner on the orders of the vengeful Austrian Archduke Leopold V as he was returning to England from the Crusades, and subsequently handed over to the German King Henry VI, who transported him to Trifels and ransomed him to the English for a handsome sum of gold. As the middle ages drew to a close, Trifel's importance diminished. It was ravaged by fire when lightning struck it in 1602. The castle served as a place of refuge for the inhabitants on the area from death and destruction during the thirty years war (1618-48). Years later, as the region was gripped by the plague, Trifels fell into abandonment and was misused by the locals as a quarry. Rescued by conservationists in the 19th century, Trifels was restored under Hitler's National Socialists in 1938, but bears little architectural resemblance now with the Trifels of old apart from a few surving structures.

Today, Castle Trifels is but a mere, insignificant shadow of its former state. The imperial insignia are still kept here but they are replicas of the real ones, which are now housed at the Austrian historical museum in Vienna. And ye old King Richard is, off course, long gone with the wind. Still, the Castle is a lovely place to visit on a day's outing and it offers gorgeous views of the surrounding plains and villages, and conveys an aura of timelessness and history. I visited it on at least three occasions. To reach Trifels, you can park your vehicle in the parking lot above Anweiler and walk 30 minutes or so on a trail which, I may hasten to add, is rather steep and winding at places. If you're not a frequent mountain hiker, you'll probably have to spend a few minutes catching your breath when you reach the castle gates but, take it from me, it's well worth the effort. For those who cannot walk the trail, there is another parking lot close to the base of the Castle. Vistors have to pay a small fee to enter the Castle.

Near Kaiserslautern: It takes some work to get to Burg Trifels

Though the first stones of Burg Trifels were laid nearly 1,000 years ago, even today it’s easy to see why the mountaintop perch was a smart site for a castle.

The medieval-era sandstone structure has a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding valleys in Germany’s hilly southern Palatinate woods, about an hour south of Kaiserslautern.

Even in the modern age, it takes time and legwork to reach the castle. From the nearest town of Annweiler, you must drive for several miles up a curving, narrow road and then take a 15-minute hike up a steep forest trail.

After emerging from the trees into sunlight, suddenly you’re looking up at the castle’s imposing gate. Hundreds of years ago, this steep hike must have been a powerful deterrent to invaders: There’s no sneaking up on this rock fortress.

Trifels Castle (German: Reichsburg Trifels) is a reconstructed medieval castle at an elevation of 500 m (1,600 ft) near the small town of Annweiler, in the Palatinate region of southwestern Germany. It is located high above the Queich valley within the Palatinate Forest on one peak of a red sandstone mountain split into three.[1] Trifels Castle is on the peak of the Sonnenberg, and on both of the other two rock elevations there are castle ruins: Anebos Castle and Scharfenberg Castle (demotically called Münz).

Trifels Castle has been gradually restored since the 19th century and today replicas of the Imperial Regalia (Reichskleinodien) of the Holy Roman Empire are on display here. It is—together with Hambach Castle—one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
