"
Had they been adopted, the reconstruction in 1460 was the "rear lock" created from scratch on new is that today will be contradicted by the building features. The surviving parts could to their association and character even from the early days of the castle date. Probably was raised here in 1460 only. At this phase of reconstruction includes the tract between the great hall and tower (entrance hall, lounge old Graf), said here earlier walls were also included.
Until two decades ago over the entrance to the count room the remains of the painted coat of arms of the owner, Count Wilhelm von Berg and his wife are Ermentrud visible from Staufen. Sorry, but this particular tract suffered later Interventions such as the installation of jail cells end of the 18th Century. To make this intervention reversed and giving the newly discovered wall paintings an appropriate space, looked E. Probst led to extensive reconstruction.
Under the old room Graf Probst came across a parallel to the entrance wall extending cross wall. Outside we saw in the appropriate place signs of any wall angle. The transverse wall can abut either from the north to the south wall (1, b), in association with it or are older. Because the images cycle end of 1460 on the north wall of the room count (= south facade tower) at about the renewed flight of the West cross-wall, would Simultaneity also not be excluded. Then would the count room was much smaller than the reconstructed samples. (Seen on old pictures yet)
A short porch at the south tower could have served as a liaison Palas-keep.
Palas southern front
The oldest wall portion extending from the palace, South West corner to the eastern corner of the ancient county office and the upcoming rock in places, up to about 1 m above the floor level of the existing residential floor. The masonry of the lower zone consists of adhesive bonded position and occasionally inclined reading and rubble, corners and edges are made from sawn Tuffquadern, the West is at the corner of Union with the curtain wall (Palas Western Wall, A).
changes in the area below the kitchen window of the stone layer of mortar to stone location by up to 50 cm teeth. The brown mortar (1, a) west of the border corresponds in nature to that of the lower tower floors. In the eastern part to the connection of the keep was the mortar (a, b) gray and white interspersed with many Kalkknöllchen. Character and stone wall layers of both parts of the wall in 1969 but could also indistinguishable. Whether it really is a vertical line or work in the eastern part only remains of a deeply involved in the joint inter-new plasterings was encountered in the state to no longer clear.
south facade of the crumbling 1459 old palace (Zone 2)
that large parts of the south facade survived the collapse of 1459, showed the exposed brickwork clearly. Above the zone 1 followed by a wall made Tuffbrocken and rubble. For the mortar sand was apparently used in the Seez, because it contained Tonschiefersplitter violet. This extends to the walls up to eaves height of the loom, angles in the east with a Tuffquader corner to the north and forms the roof of the ancient county office soaring gable. This had originally been free either - the plaster draws on ground level around the corner - or a building adjoining the east part, perhaps a timber was low and set back.
remarkable is the structure formed from the southwest corner Tuffquadern. In the basement of the square from the plan are cut according to an obtuse angle, while they are at the top of a right angle to the Western Front. At the height of the window series provides a transition between the two square brackets. In the sill area of the upper windows reveals a series of bar holes. It must be negative act of consoles, which was suspended from a canopy over the lower windows. A continuous strip brandgeröteter clearly on console level, lacked the manner in which this roof. Because we are the smaller kitchen window, a walled could gain a narrow door, we thought at first to an arcade, which would have been here extended to the length of the old palace. On Credible ground level but only one bar hole was present (just to the east next to the door above), although the right, the front wall a few meters wide, was intact. Therefore, the narrow doors can be seen more in relation to abortion bay.
For existing buildings before 1459, four more openings include: three in the second Floor, namely the two 1506/10 walled-up windows with chamfered Tuffsteingewänden and made from reused Gewändestücken hellgrünlichem sandstone composite window of the loom, the 1st Stock ist es das grosse Küchenfenster mit gekehltem Gewände aus dunkelgrauem Trimmiserstein.
Giebelfeld Palas, Wiederaufbau 1506–10
Der oberste Abschnitt des Palas besteht aus dicht gefügtem und mit Steinsplittern ausgezwicktem Alpenkalk-Bruchsteinmauerwerk. Das gekehlte Hauptgesims ist aus Tuff gearbeitet. Durch den hohen Anteil an Tonschiefer-Splitter («Seez-Sand») wirkt der Mauermörtel wirkt violett-grau. Mit dem gleichen ausserordentlich harten Mörtel wurde der ganze Palas von oben bis unten verputzt. Laut Aussage der Bauarbeiter liess sich dieser Verputz nur schwer entfernen. Zu fest sass aber die Idee vom weiss leuchtenden Schloss in den Köpfen der Denkmalpfleger, als dass man ihn hätte beibehalten wollen.
