Burgrave's Castle in Nuremburg



















This caslte was built by Emperor Heinrich III in 1050 in order to secure crown lands. The medieval Holy Roman Empire had no capital, the rulers and their entourage traveled from palatinate to the next to held their Imperial Diets and trials. A castellan was appointed in Nuremburg to conduct the emperor's business.
Every newly elected German King must hold his Imperial Diet at Nuremburg.
