Hohentwiel Castle

In the following times, the mountain was in possession of different noble families, such as the House of Zähringen.

In the early 16th century, the Hohentwiel was more and more influenced by the House of Württemberg and became ducal seat once more.

In the following centuries, the castle was expanded to the fortress of the state of Württemberg and was unsuccessfully besieged five times during the Thirty-Years' War.

Between 1935 and 1939, the German Festivals took place under the rule of the Nazis and under the support of Joseph Goebbels.

[1] Because the Hohentwiel became part of the city of Singen in 1969, a special festival week took place in the summer.

In the same year, a Kultursonntag (Sunday for culture) with 13 stages in the castle and more than 20,000 visitors took place.
