Haigerloch Castle

History

A settlement on the Haigerloch rock ridge is first mentioned in 1095 In a first period of prosperity, Haigerloch received its town charter, and the castle of Haigerloch above the Eyach was the centre of many celebrations and tournaments. But by 1381, the Dynasty of Hohenberg was deep in debt and was therefore forced to sell its property to the Austrian Dynasty of Habsburg. About a hundred years later, Haigerloch became property of the Hohenzollern family, and a successful time of development began for the town and its citizens.

In 1580 Graf Christoph von Hohenzollern-Haigerloch, started building the castle church. He also had converted the medieval fortress into a renaissance residence and made it the centre of his dominion. From 1745 Prince Friedrich had the castle church converted into a baroque church. Furthermore he had built the church of St. Anna.

El último intento nazi por alcanzar la criticidad: la pila atómica B-VIII de Haigerloch, capturada por los aliados en abril de 1945. Nunca pudo alcanzar la reacción en cadena autosostenida: debería haber sido un 50% mayor para lograrlo. Réplica en el Museo Atómico de Haigerloch, Alemania. Atomkeller-Museum (Atomic Cellar Museum).
