Description: High above the Old Town of Kronach rises the Rosenberg Fortress. With an area of 23.6 hectares it is considered to be the largest fortifications in Germany.
The almost completely symmetrical, model fortress complex has evolved over the centuries, surrounded even today by a complex of walls, moats, buildings, and gates. The various stages of building are clearly recognizable - the medieval keep towering over the walls and the 15th and 16th century towers as well as the pentagonal Late Baroque bastion - reflecting the ever new challenges that had to be met in the construction of defensive bulwarks throughout the ages. |
